I also don't recommend wearing headphones while brushing one's teeth. Nor while getting a haircut.

I don't generally listen to music while I'm walking along anyway Ah! If I didn't I would have missed out on some wonderfully symbiotic moments. For example having the slow movement of the Brahms B major trio floating in my ears early one morning recently as the London autumn sunlight spread gradually across the fields... Never mind listening, I think most of the things I eat would themselves have constituted breaches of etiquette at Richard's finishing school.  |

Nor while using an electric razor. New iPod. Good things: album shuffle Bad things: Lock screen only shows time and battery life, no track details anywhere. Cover flow In the 'now playing' screen, the presence of album artwork meaning that the actual track details are relegated to occupying a quarter of the screen, as often as not not fully fitting. And this setting can't be changed. Still no option to view the composer on the 'now playing' screen. |

The way I got round it being confused with tracks etc. was to set up a playlist of Composer and shove everything in there. Trouble is, at the last count I had 1500 pieces by Liszt in mine so I may need to subdivide it into genre... |

Trouble is, at the last count I had 1500 pieces by Liszt in mine so I may need to subdivide it into genre... Cover flow is a pain and slows down the system (apparently, in a stroke of genius, Apple designed a system that stores the album art in a different part of the disk to the music, so the system has to carry out two searches before it can play - which may explain why my iPod only shows the album art for a small number of albums - and for a few I just get a black square). I've found that the key to keeping the iPod organised is to have a consistent filing system and stick to it. It means I have to change what Gracenote throws up in iTunes when I rip a CD - numbering the tracks and ensuring that each work is in its own album, with the name of the composer first - but it does mean that even with more than 8000 tracks on the Pod I can find anything with ease |

Perfect by name and perfect by nature. Yes, it takes time, and I have been accused of retentiveness of the bottom for doing it, but it HAS to be done. All Those Capitals Have To Go. |

So have I, and I don't care. Least of all where the title is in German, where the deployment of capitals really matters. |

Not only that. London autumn sunlight ... ... across the fields... Fields? You've been overdoing the circular breathing again, haven't you, Mr S. Just seen this and had a look at my iPod playlist. It was indeed not autumn but winter, apparently Feb 27 at 10.15 am. Felt like autumnal sunlight to me though. The fields were fields though. Fields, sport, for the practice of. In Uxbridge. |

My iPod has recently ceased working altogether. It's been a complete disaster. The only thing I can really trace it to is that my wonderful fiançée recently put it in through the washing machine...

Er, don't you check your own pockets before handing your clothes over for washing, even if you are so fortunate as to have a loving person to operate the beastly machine for you...

In Uxbridge.
... which sounds like the title of a little-known work of the English pastoral school. A solo oboe wails disconsolately above a meandering string texture, evoking the mists over the bus garage and the drone of the traffic on the Western Avenue .... |
