Geoffrey Perkins on Radio Active, 1985/6

iTunes? Or Media Monkey?

not anymore

It’s interesting reading his Guardian obituary and its related posts that after being dropped by his record label he managed to sustain a long career on his own terms. Whilst reading it I was reminded of TV show […]

I use(d) iTunes on a Mac, but I recently had to buy a new one which doesn’t recognize my external CD/DVD drive. When I was using Windows I thought MediaMonkey was amazing
