Here's a grump with a silver lining.
My iriver H10 is rubbish. I tried to load on some new 'songs' (grumpworthy term) the other day and nothing transferred.
So I followed the instructions the 'help' desk had given me last time this happened. i.e. do 'Portable Device Manual Update' and if that didn't work (which it didn't) then do 'Portable Device Initialisation' (which did, clearing my player) and then 'AutoSynch' (which didn't).
So, I was left with a player with nothing on it when I looked in Albums, or Artists, or Titles.
And the iriver 'help' desk is a fast as a snail on vallium, with the brakes on, during his lunchtime nap.
So, no answers yet.
But, if I go to 'Browser' on the player, all the tracks are there but only denoted by their Artist, and all in Artist order. It' not exactly easy to find the work you want, but I remembered today that Schoenberg's 2nd Chamber Symphony was under DeutscheKammerOrchester, and managed to listen to it.
Here's the silver lining. If you let the thing play, you get all tracks played in artist order. So I followed the Schoenberg with York Bowen's Piano Concerto (Dussek/BBC Concert Orchestra), then Debussy's Berceuse Heroique (Edward van Beinum), and Elgar's Enigma Variations (Elgar himself). I wouldn't have chosen that selection myself, and it was very good.
Happy serendipity
Tommo

In any case the real grump is that there is just something you knew where it was and now it just isn't. I hate that.
It is very annoying. I know. I get the same thing every day (almost). |

Ah, so it's not just me experiencing a feeling of deja vu?  |

But I'm sure I've had this feeling of déjà vu before somewhere...

BUGGER. My social welfare claim (made in february) feels like it's never going to even itself out. I've been sent three cheques (the first was an overpayment, the second an underpayment, the third was meant to balance the second out) out already (cashing the final two), but now I get my zillionth letter from them, now telling me I've overclaimed, and that I started work a week earlier than I think I said did.
Ah wait, I think I registered with the temp agency with the tax office a week before I actually started doing work. I'll wait 'til I get a reply from the temp agency before going any further. It would be lame if it were the case that they wouldn't cover that period :/

Grrr! My emails are unavailable thanks to BT! I hope it's only temporary because I've got at least one waiting for me. Fortunately I picked up the early ones first thing but I hate not being able to access them.  |

Inko,
If it in any way resembles the British system, then the whole idea is to frustrate you so completely that you vow never to rely on their services again.

Do the French have a word for déjà vu?  |

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

It's probably "Haven't I felt this way before?"
