Had a lovely day yesterday. We had lunch together at the Cadland before heading over to Derby. We spent the afternoon with Liz and it was just wonderful to see her. When it got to the evening we popped round the corner to Simon and Jo's and, once they'd put the boys to bed, we had a glass of wine and ordered chinese food.

Today addressed the issue of Ogg Vorbis playback on my LifeDrive. Discovered that the bundled version of Pocket Tunes that comes with it doesn't support plugins (you have to buy the Basic or better version from them) and so can't play Ogg files¹. A quick hunt around revealed two real possibilities. The first, which would be my preference if it supported background play, is the Open Source Core Pocket Media Player. Since it doesn't support background play, I've gone for the free version of AeroPlayer. I don't have any MP3s, so I don't need to pay for it. When I plugged the LifeDrive in in Drive Mode to copy music to it I discovered something odd. In spite of the fact that it reports 2.3G of free space on the drive, the OS reports the external drive that it is mounted as as having only 50.8M free! No idea why...

¹How bizarre - the free version supports MP3 which should require a royalty payment whereas to play the royalty-free Ogg Vorbis, one must pay!
