Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10th August, 2019.

10th August, 2019.

Yes: it’s Saturday.

It’s a Saturday I’m going to have to be doing … stuff … !

To be honest, I’ve just enough cash to get some blank CDs.

I’ve still got a few playlists on my old MacPro that need to be transferred over for it, to my iMac.

The playlists in question are from a large, multi-disk, compilation: equivalent to some forty-four individual CDs.

Unfortunately?   The version of iTunes on the machine is an older one, that organised this set in an odd way: as individual songs, rather than as a large set of albums.

Which means burning the playlists off as CDs, then importing them into the new machine, is the easiest way to transfer them.

I’m just glad Gracenote, the online database Apple uses to identify CDs, still seems to work … !

The only things I am worried about … ?

Is that we’re not suffering a power cut.

And the wind: it’s howling out there … !

Charlie Dimmock, born 10th August, 1966.

*        Morning, Anne: see you on Sunday … !

†        Glad to help, Debbi!   I don’t think I’ve any that size coming up again for a while!   It’s not much: stacking shelves and cashiering.   But the parade of shops is nice.   (Actually, now I think of it: moggy is sort of a British English equivalent to the word, mutt.   Except, obviously, a mutt’s a dog.   Or a record producer … )
