It strikes me as odd that one of my local radio stations played Christmas music through nearly the entirety of Advent, but stops immediately after the [...]]]></description>

Some of the problems are, admittedly, on my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Around about two weeks ago I started experiencing problems with Last.fm&#8217;s scrobbling service.  Scrobbling tracks what songs and albums users listen to and suggest similar music that the listeners may also like.

The specific problem that I have been facing is that certain online services and programs have either stopped scrobbling or are not scrobbling [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First off, I feel that I must apologize for the lack of posts lately.  I had previously been running Ubuntu Linux 8.04, but as I had been having issues, I backed up my data, wiped my drives, and installed Gentoo Linux in its stead.

What&#8217;s Linux got to do with it?
Yes, I do realize that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, in my article on the NIN/JA 2009 promotional EP, I recommended downloading the lossless version as well as the &#34;standard&#34; mp3 version.  This topic should discussed further as it deserves more than just a &#34;by the way&#34; on another article.

As its name implies, with lossy formats some quality is lost.  This loss [...]]]></description>

The first thing to note is that not all phones accept the same file types for ringers.  Some phones use mp3&#8217;s, [...]]]></description>

I checked all of my sound settings multiple times and confirmed that this was not an issue with Alsa or the sound drivers, [...]]]></description>

When songs are downloaded into iTunes through a podcast, they appear in the the &#34;Podcasts&#34; section of the [...]]]></description>

Pacing, rhythm, and consistency &#8211; of both an individual song and of the entire play list – are all important factors to consider.
