If music be the food of love

Try and find the album art for your life.

But seriously folks, since the advent of my Zen, I've started getting into listening to podcasts. I appreciate that I'm about 2 years behind the rest of the world on this one, but it's so good to have something that isn't music and is interesting to listen to when I'm mooching around Sainsbury in the evening, or walking back up the hill after lectures. I've got a list of... Many that I subscribe to (may I'll link them in my sidebar?) mostly ones related to site I visit on a regular basis, which gives a nice totality of experience, especially with places like Engadget, where there are so many updates to their RSS feed everyday that I have trouble keeping up. some of the others are just random finds from the ZENcast website, for instance I am now learning the secrets of a sixty second pedicure and why Britney's no. 1 fan site is closing. Important stuff.

On a music related note, I've noticed that in my room I'm more than happy to put everything (4000+ tracks) on random and just listen, shuffle and advance as and when I feel like it, but when I'm about town, I've got a select few albums that really hit the spot, at the moment it's the stuff I've got from eMusic or my many music blogs. There is also this which turned up in my feedreader today, which is very good indeed and although I don't have a car to drive down a long highway, I'm going to use to long Tube rides and a fie on anyone who suggests this isn't much the same thing.

As a nerd with essays to do I am, unsurprisingly, doing pretty much anything to avoid having to make a concerted start. So far today this has taken the form of finding new podcasts, upgrading the Zen's firmware and trying to find out how to transfer album art onto it. I mean, it's not even vaguely necessary and useful, but I'd like to. This has, I'm afraid to say, involved using Windows Media player. Which I'm not sure I'm doing right. It is not even vaguely intuitive in terms of its UI and I maybe using the wrong version. I don't know. All this just for some pictures I'll probably never look at, is it worth it?
