Internet changes how we store, listen to music

Recently a friend asked me how I organize and catalog my vast music collection. If you have never seen my home office, you will know that "organizing" is a relative term.

I eliminated all formats except a small collection of CDs, especially my all-time favorite, loosely stacked in plastic bins of many. We are looking for a small shelf to hold them, but would require me to get a hold records in alphabetical order or by genre. As my son always tells me, that need work.

The vast majority of my music collection now lives in my iTunes library on a hard drive that is saved on the data DVD.I also ripped most of my physical drives as additional safeguards, making them available on request for some good books and our iPods.

We play music on our computers and our stereo system at home, an old boom box CD. Bose dock would be nice, but one of the burners on the stove just went and is taped to the off position.

Chevrolet Volt…Is it the future?

The centre panel also includes a back-up camera with trajectory indications. It also includes parking assist that beeps at you when you are too close to the car in front or in back of you. Notably absent were indications on the screen about the locations of whatever was causing it to beep.

The Volt is amazingly quiet, even at highway speeds. This compact size car drives more like a Cadillac..quiet and comfortable but, it handles like a sport sedan with torque to burn. You will notice the range in electric mode showed as 40Km because of the demands to keep the passengers moderately comfortable on a cold winter day. The summertime range is about 60Km with judicious use of the climate control..just put it on eco and let the computer control it.

Touch controls on the panel below the centre screen give you access to all the whistles and bells. A nice sounding Bose entertainment system features AM/FM, SiriusXM Radio, USB/iPod input andCD/DVD player with 30 GB Hard Drive for music storage. The Bluetooth hands free is a little more complicated than I like..You can buy an add-on system for less than $100 that will download your address book and react to “call so and so” with no fuss so I have never understood why it can’t be as simple with an installed system. That said, the Volt’s hands free is still pretty good.
