aworks +1 web log :: first day tracking

Cover of Duke Ellington

My listening continues to fragement across an iPod, my rdio subscription and a new interest in Amazon Cloud (as I wait for my Kindle Fire this month.). As a result, I'm losing track of the tracks I like.

Unfortunately, other cloud support hasn't really worked. The recent Facebook music initiative was no help to follow my own listening, Apple's music match service (via lala) is missing in action, I hate running Spotify as an app outside the browser across 5 computers, and I don't begin to understand the Google music strategy (even as I inadvertenly uploaded 19,000 songs to their beta product while on vacation).

So maybe I'll try the simpler and long-standing aworks web log for this...
