*@ Clint :* the software you're looking for seems available out there for
instance — it's called Saiko :

Back in the days, i've been endlessly bitchin' about Psytrance myself ; but
for some obscure reasons — i.e. nostalgia i guess —, i find myself kind of
enjoying it nowadays.
*@ Jared :* i think we quite have the same definition of hustlers but i
don't want to delve into details.
Likewise, i also understand your frustrations regarding music you can't
think well of — the thing is : are you really that sure that it's just as
easy as you think (i mean how can you make sure that you're not missing
something) ?
If so, then i urge you to look somewhere else so you can level up instead
of getting down.
Last, i don't eat bacon since i'm veggy, but on a daily basis i enjoy Feta
made from sheep's milk and honey made from hard working bees.
Good evening everyone.
