Thanks. Don't leave the word 'drive' off, Bob, or it confuses those of us who were around in the 70s, that includes you ya know! For a while there I was wondering if some of my old computers had vacuum tubes!

I just called it what they called it in
the specs. Do try and keep up,
grandpa. That's right, a transistor
radio will come on immediately,
just like my computer does now!

How do I get it to play in the background like youtube will while I'm doing other stuff on the puter?


It just does, I dunno lol.

I have it as an app on both phone and PC (and g/f smart TV). If it's on it's on.

If not d/ling app, then bringing it up on its own tab should work. It doesn't turn off like YT seems to do
Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it.

In Windows, if a program isn't working right, right click it, and trouble shooter should be available.

That's how I fixed my audio on a game.

I think you can just click the icon, but if not, go to the .exe file for it.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

I got a ransom demand because someone said they tapped my laptop and taped me doing something awful. I suppose idiots would pay that.
