Maybe there’s some sort of digital signal placed on the tracks for this purpose?

Yes theres tag information on the songs, a lot of my music tracks don't have the information and the computer only identifies track 1, track 2 etc.

Good morning. Beautiful, bright and sunny. Excellent except for the friggin' wind - 20mph ENE which means going west is fun and everything else is a 'mare. Think I'll try a 20 mile hilly loop and head home. I just feel I really should have a ride of some sort this morning.

@Mo1959 what's the latest on the bruises and grazes?

Loads of allotment and other domestics which need doing so I had best crack on.

Same here some tracks are identified but others not . It seems to depend on the playback device but not necessarily the age of the device. My car which is seven years old will only play DRM tracks yet doesn't display the track names for 2021 purchased CDs.

I think the system you're referring to is DRM or Digital Rights Management. I have a huge library of music I downloaded from the original Napster, much of it 60s, 70s and early 80s. These usually don't have DRM embedded in the track.

Some devices, much older ones, will play most of this music but modern devices will only play tracks which contain the DRM info. Very irritating but very clever.

Right I'm going for a :bicycle:

Barnet,
Good morning from a sunny Amsterdam.
We've had a busy weekend at the bulb fields at Kuckenhof,, then yesterday to watch the flower parade up at Haarlem.
Amsterdam is a manic place, quite busy, but millions of cyclists who take no prisoners if anyone is walking on the cycle paths which are at the edge of the roads. At road crossings it is perilous as you need to get across the cycle way to press the button for the equivalent pelican crossing :eek:
Plenty of sightseeing done, eating and drinking, of course. Today is a bit more relaxed, a walk around the Vondel park, and an evening canal cruise. With more eating and drinking during the day. :cheers:
Have fun everyone :cuppa:

Good afternoon folks, just waved goodbye to granddaughter after her sleepover. Forgot to say I saw a Swallow yesterday while watching Mrs Tenkaykev at Upton House parkrun. 😎 Glorious sunny day, need to recover from the non stop activity of childminding, including an hour or so of dancing in the garden to Bob Marley and Toots and the Maytals 😁
