    Maybe, thats cool. The ugh was in ref to Adel in general.

    She has talent, yup. The 20 something angst and whining thing isn't for me, nor is the young person singing music targeted at old people (like soft food), but that is not the ugh part.

    Everywhere you go for almost 2 years now you get an earful of Adel. Most of the songs sound the same. All depressing. Nothing upbeat. Shoot me.

    You should watch her in "Last Tango in Halifax" - you will be glued to the screen ........ I'm waiting for the "boxed set" to come out

    Well now. The Nexus is a pretty advanced piece of engineering. Place it flat on a table top. The shiny side up. Just show the cd to the tablet, wave it about a few times, and throw the cd out of the window. You don't need it any more. It's this object/recognition/temporal/transference thing. The music should come from the clouds overhead. I'm sure you must have already heard of cloud computing. This is exactly what it is.

    Best of luck!

    I was just doing some cloud computing, but it looks like the sun has broken through. Time to take the dogs for walkies and search for a "4" to shoot.

    Maybe the kids can tell you if it can go on a kindle.
    I thought that was Shelby Lynne - Adele strikes me as a bit fuller of voice, something a little deeper and less funky about her than Dusty or Shelby. Her pop hits are ubiquitous enough to get really tiresome, but if you dig into her albums a bit, there's some really fine stuff there, and I think her hits will sound good too once they're out of heavy rotation. I used to hate Led Zepplin when they were unavoidable too, but I got over it. I didn't particularly like her either based on what I'd heard on the radio, but one day I was walking my dog and I heard some amazing bluesy female vocals just bursting forth from one of the cars that I caught at a couple of stop lights. The gal pulled the car into a parking lot as I walked by and I asked here what that music was and, you guessed it, it was Adele. Really fine stuff. Its not something I listen to a lot, but I have pretty big respect for the young woman.

    You can play it on a Kindle Fire or any of the tablets. And some of the earlier Kindle readers had headphone jacks and a rudimentary ability to play music, but weren't really made for that. And the newer ones don't play music at all.

    Funny. I got my 4 at dinner when the wife said "what 4 are you going to shoot tonight?"
