Now with the #thememonday ADN vote being available, I sort of regret closing those other two accounts over there, I could only vote with two IDs instead of the four I used to run.
@schmidt_fu Sunset Monday is so boring. Vote for Apocalypse Monday!

One of the first apps I ever bought for Mac OS X was MP3 Trimmer. I have just used it in Sierra (bought it when using Jaguar, 10.2) to trim a section of a Mike Oldfield track. It was a particular 6 minute & 5 second section from Hergest Ridge Part 2, from 9'31" to 15'36". My version of Hergest Ridge is from the Boxed Collection (I have both CD & vinyl versions) and when I imported the trimmed selection into iTunes, it was magically given the original Hergest Ridge album artwork. I'm pleased with that result.
The process can be done with QuickTime X but it's a two-stage operation & results in a .m4a (AAC) instead of the desired .mp3 which can be burned to a CD for use in the car.
Open exported .mp3 file in QT X and select "Trim" from Edit on the menubar & save the trimmed file. This will be in .mov format. Now open that one in QT X & export the audio. Oh, look. It's a silly .m4a file that needs more conversion. With some preference-fiddling in iTunes, it can be converted into .mp3 format again but that's an extra four steps.
@sumudu In this Australian state, it the Labour Day long weekend, Monday being a public holiday in celebration of the 8 hour working day, granted for the first time in May of 1856. So here the weekend is not even 1/2 over.
@gtwilson I believe Lucas Electrical (UK) once made a vacuum cleaner. For once, they actually made an electrical item that didn't suck.*
*Apocryphal.
Local office supply store may (or may not!) have a wireless QI charger in stock at a very reasonable price. The Lumia 1520 has QI charging builtin.
I'm actually more impressed with the photos from the 19 (actual) MP Lumia 1520 than I was with the earlier 38 MP Lumia 1020 camera. The colours are truer & the device's faster quad-core processor reduced the time between shots considerably, compared to the older, slower dual-core setup in the 1020.
Lumia 1520 battery saver test terminated after 4 days, 9 hours, with 20% charge remaining. So it's not unreasonable to expect five to six days from a full charge when battery saver is on. for at least three hours yesterday the device was used a a camera, viewing & editing photos, as well as uploading them to OneDrive when a wifi network became available.
I had to connect the thing via a USB cable to get the pics off it, I could have downloaded them from OneDrive but that's a waste of bandwidth/time.
Got out & about yesterday with the Lumia 1520 as a camera, photographing sheds, as is my wont.
