Audio mp3 problem on Android phone

I dont have a computer, so VLC on android is all I have seen of VLC.

My love affair with the app (vlc) has been strained many times, but when I was trying out MT Manager I accidently discovered the media players in it (fully expecting my default players to play upon file selection) and noticed that there were no droppouts in what I had suspected was just a 'bad copy'.

I double checked, and the dropouts reappear when played with VLC.

Also, Fossify Gallery wont play one video after another and VLC is fickle to make it do so.

Funny enough, it's a simple toggle switch (in video player mode) setting on MT Manager.

I had a version of MTK Manager on an old phone before, but it wont work on my newer devices. So I looked for an updated version and found MT Manager, and it seems to be the same thing.

I guess that there are not as many 'features', but in reality I use hardly any of the extra junk that VLC offers.

The EQ is not useful due to the Audio Effects apps that most (even cheap) devices have, and 90% of the other crap also seems superfluous.
Not to mention the clunky file browser you are stuck with

And I cannot stress enough how tired I was waiting for VLC to constantly load my media.

Holy hell, if I changed from VLC to another app and back again it was another 2-3 minute wait for my film selection to begin playing, watching an ugly orange cone spinning around. VLC has the memory of a goldfish evidently.

Both Fossify Gallery and MT Manager will start a selection immediately, and dont seem to need hardly any time to get their $#!+ together and start.

VLC acts like it needs some Ritalin or something.

Usually I will hang on to an app that I used for a while, in case I decide to go back to it, but I have had problems with VLC before so I uninstalled that thing like a broken toilet- with about as much care.

I've seen quite enough orange cones out on the road and have no interest to see them on my phone.

E-Bikes

Seventy one degrees was the original forecast for today. This morning it had be changed to sixty five. I waited until it reached fifty five degrees and went riding. It was humid and there was a slight fog. It seemed incredibly cold to me. I made one loop to the town South and a couple of in town loops and called it a day. I logged sixteen miles. I was not surprised that when I came inside and saw my weather station that instead of continuing to warm up, it peaked at fifty six and fell to forty nine during my short ride. I met one rider on the sidewalk South, oddly enough. I was dressed warmer than he was. I bet he was very happy when he got home.

What's the weather like where you are?

Today was originally supposed to be 71° and then changed to 65° this morning. I guess the weather is just too complicated to predict. They put on a good show but they aren't any better than the weather man from my youth who stuck pins in a map. The temperature topped out briefly at 56° around one pm and then promptly fell back to the forties. It didn't rain but it was humid and a bit foggy. I'd tell you what is predicted tomorrow but what's the point?

Any Time is Grillin Time

I fired up my smoker Sunday. I was checking to see if a clean burn pot made a difference. The burn pot had a crust build up of ash in the bottom of the pot. I scraped and vacuumed the pot out. There was ash outside the pot as per normal. It shouldn't be a problem but I always clean all the ash out when cleaning. I let the smoker run up to temp and hold that temp for a while. The smoker was working as normal and there was no chugging and excess smoke pouring out everywhere. I think I have the problem fixed but I'll know more when I actually do my next cook.

MLB 2026

I was watching a spring training game earlier.. I can't tell you who was playing or who won. It was just on. The catcher disputed a ball call and the ABS system popped up and showed the call was correct. They zoomed in and the ball was .01" from the low and outside corner. That's the closest I've seen.

How To Delete Selected Cookies on Android Duck Duck & Firefox

How can I delete selected cookies on Android Duck Duck and Firefox without deleting browsing history? Going into SETTINGS I don't see any separate setting just for cookies. If I select deleting it warns me it wil delete data.
In Firefox go to Settings and look for "delete browsing data". Click on that and you get a set of tick boxes for which types of data you wish to delete. One of the options is "cookies and site data", while "browsing history" is a separate option. So by selecting only "cookies and site data" you can clear cookies without deleting your browsing history.

I don't have the Duck browser installed so can't check that one.
