The Best Android Music Player
A music player for my Android smartphone. I’ve searched. For years I’ve searched. I gave up…
A few days ago I started searching again.
Google searches, articles, reviews. Downloaded, installed, and uninstalled 1/2 a dozen apps I hadn’t tried before. By now I’ve tried too many to remember.
None of them fit. [Read more…] about The Best Android Music Player
Yeah, I’ve worked on a few PC’s…
Cleaning and organizing my PC room.
I was staring down at this drawer and it just dawned on me the amount of computer work I’ve done over the years.

SanDisk Clip Sport “Review”
I only use a standalone MP3 player for working out. I’ve had an iPod Nano for some time. Nothing particularly wrong with except it is Apple and if you know me, well…
One minor annoyance is I have to keep the Nano in my pocket as the clip just doesn’t seem to do well, especially on thick edges of clothing (sweatpants and shorts). Don’t get me wrong. As much as I hate to admit it this Nano has been good to me. Especially when you factor in I got it for free. I think this was Apples best MP3 player.
I have a 6th generation iPod Nano. It was a freebie replacement for a long dead 1st generation Nano that was recalled.
So I’m midway through a hard back workout, arms shaking, trying to dig the Nano out of my pocket. That’s when I decided to look for something else.
After due consideration I decided on a SanDisk Clip Sport 8GB. I paid $37 for it on sale last week.
As a reference. The 6th gen Nano can still be had with prices ranging from $22 to a whopping $180, all used or refurb.
