a slave to technology

SATURDAY 9/29/18 9:38AM--I contacted Customer Support for Spotify to solve a certain dilemma...but ultimately I /we did not--yet anyway...a lot (most? all?) of my Spotify Library was borrowed (stolen?) from my iTunes Library...and not all of THOSE songs were bought from Apple--a great many of them were acquired in less than honorable circumstances (downloaded from my own [bought and paid for] CDs or extracted from youTube) and therein lies the problem...apparently there's no (easy?) way to delete the duplicates...oh well...I guess it's better than not having any songs at all...in fact, there are apparently an unknown number of songs that didn't make the leap from iTunes to Spotify...and as far as I can tell, Spotify DOES sound better than iTunes, generally...

          If I don't work in the gizmo Lab this morning, I'll do it Monday...I don't NEED to do it until Tuesday at the earliest, because all my guitar playing activity until then will likely be acoustic...unless I go to the IPO open mic...actually not (yet) looking forward to playing it in those situations...such is Life...

11AM--actually, I probably won't go to IPO because I'll likely be at Crossroads on Tuesday...and hopefully Gumbo Ya Ya on Monday...as for today, I don't think I have anything else going on...and there's nobody playing nearby tonight that I wanna see/hear...

3:21PM--I have to keep reminding myself that today is Saturday, not Sunday...so far, I haven't done much more than sleep...and I might not be done doing that...

4:22PM-still struggling with Technology...would much rather be napping...
4:32PM- I THINK my Spotify library has been updated; instead of 9000+ songs I’ve got about 3000 or so songs in it...but the laptop is pretty screwed up for some reason...I’m gonna leave it alone for about 10 minutes then try yet again to get things back to “normal “ technologically speaking...I DO wonder if having iTunes AND Spotify (even on "standby") is a problem...

    as for this evening, I'm still fairly sure I'm not going out tonight...if for no other reason, I've got that gig with Michelle in Olney...

Still seemingly having a problem with Spotify...one of the problems is I don't know how Spotify works...I THINK "Local Files" is everything you've ever listened to (maybe), "Songs" are just the things you have "saved"...I don't even know how or why I would download any songs, and I dunno where they go...and I dunno what the "Queue" is...I'm not complaining, mind you, I just don't like not understanding stuff sometimes...it seems like I have the option of wirelessly listening to Spotify, that's kinda cool...I guess because Bluetooth is enabled, I can't use AUX to listen to the Spot...I think it still works with iTunes...

making phone calls with/through Bluetooth? too complicated for me...receiving calls? it seems to be easy...
