Just Like (a) Human

Okay. Recently, I won $62 on a couple of scratchoff tickets.
I decided that I’d get into the portable music player fad going on, and get myself an RCA Lyra.

After all, radio in the area sucks, CD players that can carry enough music cost about the same, and the device is easier to expand.

My biggest problem with the Lyra, though, is management software.
I don’t really like MusicMatch Jukebox, so far - the interface is irritating, at best.
I don’t like how it ignores my system default browser to open an IE window for things.
I really don’t like the skinned interface: The lack of skins that themselves do not look hideous while providing proper contrast for text and background makes it harder to use.
What’s most upsetting is, anything played in it doesn’t get sent to my Audioscrobbler account.

Sveta Portable Audio gets the job done, allows me to choose a bitrate BELOW 64 kbps (48kbps WMA is fine for some of my music), but is not free.
Guess I’ll pay for it after all.

Also, on an aside, this is to see what’s going on with my feeds.
