A new toy

I bought a new toy last week -- an MP3 player, which I have affectionately dubbed Musey. It's the cheapest player money can buy. It has its quirks, of course. For one thing, the menu button doubles as an on/off switch, which means there is no way that I can discover to get to a menu to select songs or playlists or albums or even randomize choices. No, Musey will only play songs in alphabetical order. If I want to find one in particular, I have to go flipping through the whole thing. Or if I changed batteries and reset it. Musey also thinks half the classical pieces are called "Zip-a-dee-do-dah" and the other half are called "The Prophecy." But still, it does break the monotony of work.
