A further word on the musical technology

omorkaThese earphones have much better sound than the previous ones. They are also going to be hard to wear for more than a couple of hours at a time. Taking off my glasses seems to reduce the pressure on the ridges in the pinnae slightly, which will be okay if I'm just working on the computer (my vision to about five feet is fine) but not so good if I'm also trying to do other tasks that will require distance vision.
The other pair of earphones have a somewhat tinnier sound than the Apple earbuds. However, the earbuds are so painful after about thirty minutes that I'm willing to make the trade-off. The ear-hooks don't seem to interfere with the earpieces on my glasses; however, I am going to have to be careful bending over with these on. They're not quite as secure as I'd like. (Then again, if they were, they'd probably hurt, too. I wonder if I can sort of secure the hooks with the earpieces?)
An odd thing about the iShuffle: if I play a song on the Shuffle, and then re-sync it with iTunes, the play counter advances, but the "last played" doesn't update. I am guessing that this means that the Shuffle, unlike a regular iPod, does not know what day it is. :)
