The Zune software allows you to assign disc numbers to your individual tracks. This is useful if a particular track came from a multi-disc release. In these examples I’m using Dethklok’s “The Dethalbum” Deluxe Edition which came on two discs. You can see this feature in these first two screen shots. Click them to embiggify for [...]

So PC World says Firefox May Already Be Dead. The headline is a bit sensationalist, but I can’t say that I totally disagree with the story. I started using the Mozilla browser package before Firefox came about. When Firefox was released it was supposed to be the sleek, minimalist, fast alternative to the big and [...]

As a follow up to my recent flaming of the Zune, I got mine to finally accept a charge. I was given hope by a few forum postings on various Zune sites about people with similar problems and getting them solved. For me it took two different sync cables, a car charger, and a Zune [...]

I’ve talked in the past about some of the new features of Windows Vista that I like. They were great usability enhancements that make using Vista a better experience than previous versions of Windows. Now I’m going to talk about something else that I’m loving about Vista.

I’ve recently started putting to good use another smart new feature in Windows Vista, the application based volume mixer. It replaces the old volume control in previous versions of Windows. I’ve used it to basically mute Internet Explorer full time to keep all those stupid Myspace songs that are set to auto-start from interrupting my [...]

I’ve been using Windows Vista exclusively for a few months now, and at first glance there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot different from Windows XP. Yes, Vista supports DirectX 10 and it has a nicer looking UI in the Aero Interface, but basically it’s the same. Similar Start menu, similar Windows Explorer, a [...]
