  • For me, Music Speed Changer allows me to just focus on the segment of the recording that I need to practice. I can pick an A point and a B point and it will only play between those two points. My learning tracks also come with my part in the left ear and the other parts in the right ear and I can use the balance control to focus on one and defocus on the other. I can also make playlists for the various performances coming up so that I can practice and memorize my music while I’m driving



  • The 3 button navigation is simpler, much faster than gestures and less prone to input errors than gessure navigation.

    I was constantly backing out of my app when all I wanted to do was turn a page. Therefore I went back to the three buttons. The gestures are nifty, but I was always running into problems with the gesture happening when I didn’t want it to.

    My tech averse spouse finally wanted a smartphone and I knew he would not understand gestures as he is very literal. So there was a double bonus: the buttons are a lot better for him.



  • Which Android devices are you currently using?

    I have a Google Home Mini, a Google Chromecast, and I’m on my 4th phone powered by Android … two from HTC and two are Pixels.

    What do you love most about them?

    The Home Mini and the Chromecast actually don’t do too much that is useful for me. They mainly are just there doing not much.

    The phones that I have chosen have been delightful. All Android phones are delightful, the cheap free phone that I got when I signed up for Visible (cell service) for my spouse was a piece of garbage. But that’s the way that Android works: the developer/manufacturer can roll it to be whatever they want it to be.

    What do you dislike?

    I don’t have anything to put here, but I’m looking forward to some of the responses.
