So I’ve been enjoying listening to CDs on my PC since I did my XP reinstall (which unfrelled the drivers that had been keeping it from playing audio CDs). Windows Media Player does a decent enough job for this, to my taste.<\/p>\n
And one of the cool features is that it takes a hashing of the CD and checks its online databases and figures out what the CD is, providing you with title, artists, track titles, etc.<\/p>\n
The process is not, though, perfect.<\/p>\n
Playing in my PC according to my Eyes and Ears<\/u>: The Brandenberg Concertos<\/i>, et al., written by J. S. Bach, performed by Christopher Hogwood conducting the Academy of Ancient Music.<\/p>\n
Playing in my PC according to WMP<\/u>: Goose Pimples<\/i>, performed by Bix Beiderbecke.<\/p>\n
While J.S. was prolific both on paper and in the sack, I don’t believe he wrote or performed a tune titled “Wa-Da-Da (Everybody’s Doin’ It Now).”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
