Hurrah for Mickey & running away to Paris :)

I still don't understand why becoming a cyberman would be so horrible. Ok; you'd have no emotions, but you wouldn't care that you had no emotions, because you had no emotions.

I can't figure out how to (a) turn .wma files into mp3s, or (b) how to get wmas to play on my phone (the Sony Ericsson W800i).

strangefrontier, I paid your cheque in today - thank you! Whee, Maiden!

Diet is on hold untilafter the run. I'm not daft. Interestingly enough, I slept wonderfully last night after a 9 1/2" pizza and potato wedges. I wonder whether tonight's Full Vermonty will have the same effect?

What exactly is the point of last.fm? It's tracking what I play, withthe exception of the interesting-and-therefore-badly-tagged things, but - what else? Can I download songs? I've only found the 30sec samples so far. I don't get it.

There are converty programs which can turn wmas into mp3s. I think this one might be OK. I've got it installed, but I've tried quite a few and can't remember which ones were good.

The point of last.fm is... well, the tracking, really. There's the whole community aspect too, with the groups and the message boards and all that, but since that's all about sociability I've ignored it. Once you've got a lot of tracks in your database, the site'll come up with recommendations for you (which are occasionally worthwhile). The radio stations are good, but I don't tihnk you can save the songs from them (like you can with Pandora, if you're sneaky).

Uh, I seem to have fucked up some coding after the link in that comment. Oops.

Oh, and YAY MAIDEN!

Heh, dancing Captain Tightpants. ;o)

Aha! Thank you! I'll play with that later - I've found enough bouncy shouty energetic stuff to keep me going, I think :)

I dread to think what they'll suggest for me. ATM I'm getting a single suggestion of Led Zeppelin, but Media Player set to 4&5 stars has been having an extended Neil Diamond moment recently...
