The emphasis is on playable. 12” doesn’t fit in my cd or computer/iPod... cd or mp3 is what I was searching for. Ended up on YouTube instead... :roll:

Well, I'm impatiently awaiting new stock of large ti Camino frames at alpkit/sonder so I'd bling that cost not spared (but mostly just funcy wheels, stem, bars and seat post...).

Re: What are you listening to now?

I’ve not been buying much (the usual ‘small’ stuff, no big ticket items). I ordered a replacement aeropress plunger seal that arrived the next day and a cd (admittedly from Germany) that took over 3 weeks. I live on the Black Isle though (which apparently isn’t on the mainland according to some cour...
