Clean restaurants are all alike; Every dirty restaurant is dirty in its own way.

My wife gave me a project of making a workout music mix for her new iPod Nano for her birthday.

First off, I’m using Mac OSX and iTunes, so keep in mind that a solution using Windows will involve different software, but maybe with same overall limitations.

I tried beaTunes 1.2.1 but found the BPM analysis wasn’t accurate for some songs.

Then I came across Potion Factory’s Tangerine listed on this page. I double checked the results with a free javascript manual-tapping-based BPM analyzer and they were accurate. Sometimes Tangerine picked a twice as fast BPM but I think unfortunately, the numbers will always need to be tweaked before they are used to put together a smooth playlist.

I’m still deciding what to do. I still haven’t shelled out any money for either of these programs yet.

After a long time, Albertson’s is finally Lucky’s again. But neither is really the original Lucky’s , instead it’s a cloaked version of Save Mart. Well, here’s the history according to Wikipedia, if you’re interested.

Myself, I still find myself drawn to Safeway — although Safeway has a sordid past too. Just goes to show, when it comes to business and sausage, don’t ask how it all works or is made.
