InnuOS Sense 2.6.0.
There is also a line of dots on the right-hand side of your "Albums" page that allows you to go directly to a particular line of album covers.  You can touch a dot and it will tell you what letter you're at if your albums are sorted alphabetically... 
Cream — Stormy Monday
@soix I think all tablejockey was saying is that Clapton’s version of the tune is definitive, FOR HIM. "No reason to get excited", the thief he kindly spoke. That’s from Bob Dylan. Don’t want anyone accusing me of stealing.  If you think someone... 
More Than A Whisper: Celebrating The Music Of Nanci Griffith
@krelldog   I listened to it again and I agree it's a very well recorded album with really good, tasteful backing for the singers.  It's the singers' ragged old voices that keep me from getting too excited about it.    
More Than A Whisper: Celebrating The Music Of Nanci Griffith
I listened to it once and it didn’t grab me like it did you, but I’ll give it another listen. She deserves the tribute and I like the cover photo, she looks like a Japanese Zen master.  
Vinyl is back for good and that’s exciting
There is no assurance that if you buy a new physical copy of music that the artist will get any of the money unless you buy it directly from the artist on a website or at a show. The record companies have the royalties scam down pat too. If you bu...

Hearing problems and speaker upgrade
I recently tried a pair of expensive over-the-ear type hearing aids and I am returning them. I hated listening to music through them even though they had a music setting and some EQ on my phone. They had a tiny microphone on the back of my earpie... 
Tip for blues lovers
@boxcarman  -  Thanks for the feedback on Harry.  I do like to listen to relaxed music more often these days.  Harry is unique  and  I like his songwriting.  Enjoy!  
What to do with a large collection
+1 musicfan2349,I don’t look at cds, vinyl or audio gear as an investment that I intend to sell one day and want to at least break even. Finding the artists and music you love, shopping for the disk or having it come in the mail and then listenin... 
Tip for blues lovers
I gave her a listen on your advice and i agree it's a good album.  She has a nice voice and she's really been practicing her blues guitar.  I don't think the purists would like it, but what do they like? Now let me recommend someone.  Harry Manx.... 
Esoteric K-05XD
As I'm sure you know, Esoteric has redesigned their DAC, so the XD series players are quite different from older models.  I haven't heard the K-05 XD, but from what I read the Esoteric players sound very good and are competitive at their price poi... 
when your hearing is not as good as it was . . .
It’s the high frequencies that you lose first. I can’t give you any advice about any gear you can do without now, though. I think that’s a little too specific to you, your system and your hearing for anyone to give you any realistic advice. There’... 
Upgraded from Node to 432-evo-aeon-music-server and its another world sonically
Glad to hear you got a nice bump up from the 432 Aeon.  It's a nice change from all the people complaining about high-end audio here.  Enjoy!  
Where does music come from that streams?
You can’t just take a cd or lp, digitize it, put it on a server and start charging people to stream it. You have to have a contract with the record company that owns the rights to the music, and they will send you a digital file, as cleeds said ab... 
"Diminishing Returns"
I think you're talking about being completely satisfied with your system and having the sense to know it, not diminishing returns.
