Barstool Sports Trackers
I went to my favorite sports site this morning and saw an article about the greatest linebacker of all-time. Look at all the trackers.
Did they do this on purpose or have they been hacked?

MediaMonkey 5.0
“9 years after the first release of MediaMonkey 4, we’re proud to announce MediaMonkey 5! It’s a complete overhaul of MediaMonkey that includes a foundation for a more modern UI, a framework that allows MediaMonkey better integrate with cloud/music services, and allows MediaMonkey to eventually become cross-platform and support different form factors.”
I fired it up. Album Art isn’t there. I feel like I’m looking at the periodic table. Went to Views and nothing obvious. I shouldn’t have to work for it. Displays just fine in MediaMonkey 4. Uninstalled (at least for now).
