After my rave about the iPod\u00a0a couple of posts ago, I should note something rather weird that happened this morning as I undertook my morning stroll. I’ve gradually been working through an interesting series of Podcasts called the Skeptics Guide to the Universe<\/a>\u00a0and started playing Episode #200<\/a>. At least, that’s what I thought it was. That’s what I selected from the player’s menu, and that’s what was scrolling across the display.<\/p>\n

But as the podcast drew to a close, the answer to the previous week’s ‘Who’s That Noisy’ quizz was given, and there was no way it could be correct. Still, the episode was over a couple of minutes later, and then I undertook to skip quickly through the minute or so of credits and closing music. But having done that, the podcast resumed at a point some ten or fifteen minutes earlier, even while the progress bar showed that the play position was at the end.<\/p>\n

What happened, it turned out, was that the player thought it was playing Episode #200, but was actually playing Episode #201! No wonder its progress pointer was thrown out. I backed out of that play menu, went to another and started playing something, stopped it, returned to the SGU play menu and restarted #200, and this time it really was #200 playing.<\/p>\n

Anyone ever had one track playing while another track’s info was presented?<\/p>\n

Anyway, I recommend SGU. It’s funny, science based and has some interesting guests. Obviously I don’t agree with everything there, but does one ever?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
