Gracenote

While looking for "Chumbi" for that last post I went to the Gracenote page. Q, man, I love ya like a brother, but what the f*ck is up with that page design? It wasn't 'til I went and looked multiple times that I realized that the music search wasn't an extra click away, but it's clear that they've abandoned the consumer and are just interested in providing technology to developers of other products.

Of course they didn't have what I was looking for anyway, which makes sense 'cause I often found that my favorite new CDs weren't in their database, people ripping and distributing generally aren't listening to CDs of small indie artists bought in coffee shops, but it reassures me that as frustrated as I get right now with my current employ I made the right decision in leaving.
