It's the little things

Suffice it to say, August was a huge disaster for me. So when little things make me inordinarily happy, I don't try to mitigate that too much. One of those little things happened today - I found out that Winamp had released a new version. Not usually a big deal, since tweaks to every software product come out periodically. So I went to check out and see what the new features were, and was very pleasantly surprised. First, I was excited to see that Predixis MusicMagic was now built-in. (This is kind of like MoodLogic, which I've discussed previously.) After upgrading my Winamp to 5.1, I played around with Predixis a bit, and found it satisfactory. Exploring other features, I discovered that Winamp now supports podcasts! I hadn't yet played with podcasts, preferring my own MP3s. But I found out that there is a podcast of KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic, for example, and I immediately subscribed. Very cool.
