Cog 0.06 and John From Cincinnati


New Cog has a shiny new user interface, Last.fm scrobbling support, gapless playback, a new drawer from which to browse a folder (configurable), configurable shortcuts that work when you don't even have Cog in focus and Front row remote controller support. And there are other things too. It's just fantastic. I have wanted something like this. a lightweight player for a few tracks, as an alternative for times when you don't want to use the behemoth that iTunes has become (it's taking up like 100+ MB of my RAM now).

As an aside, have been watching and enjoying John from Cincinnati. A New HBO series featuring a surfing community and superstar surfer family, an intriguing stranger who seems to be able to give other people abilities (e.g. healing, levitation), humour, a cast a ponderous characters, a very definite sense of place a feeling that something is happening - is building. I am interested.

Review here from LA weekly.
