Damn personal music station on my phone!

As you know I carry nearly 200GB of compressed music on my phone, all from my personal CD collection. It is about 70% of my total CD collection - the best of my choices.

Today, rather than taking an Uber or Taxi to my hotel, I decided to walk the 5 miles in the brisk weather listening to my music, which was set to random. Loved it.

When I got to my hotel room the current song playing was really good and I was very much caught up in it, so I kept it playing with the IEMs in so I could enjoy it fully. I intended to turn it off after that song, but before my hands got to the phone as the song ended, another amazing song started. One more, then I'll move on.

Well, that song ended and another, even better song started... dang it! I have a call to make!

You can guess what happened next. Each song was more desirable than the last and I couldn't bring myself to turn it off.

Finally, in a fit of frustrated irritation I ripped the IEMs out of my ears and made the scheduled call at the last possible minute to be within the 1 hour window we had arranged. I am sure the person I called had given up on my remembering to call, but I got them and we had our call.

This can be a problem for a guy like me who finds music so addictive that even important work gets pushed off.

Did you know Donald Trump carries 500GB of music on his phone? And that's only 60% of his collection?

He only listens to the best music from the best artists and has the best collections.
 
Of course not. Uncompressed and lossless. In fact, I misspoke. It's not 500GB of music, it's 500 actual bands. Really good bands. The best bands.

Respect.

Though sometimes this happens for me with video games. :laughing:
 
Yeah... It isn't like a real radio station where at least half of the tunes are no better than merely "alright."
 
Ha!!!!

Trust me, they still broadcast. My wife listens to the local radio in the car. She also doesn't program the presets as she prefers turning the tuning dial to find the next station. Crazy Old School.
 
The only broadcast radio I have listened to in years is one of the two area public radio stations.
