    When I start the player, it says “File not found”. Is this just a problem from my side?

    Thank you for that perspective Joel!
    I always had the perception that some stuff was simply easy for some people but terribly difficult to me.
    Admitting that stuff is freakin’ hard but continue to doing it is such an amzing aspect. I kinda realized I’ve done that a lot of times in my life but not actively noticed it.
    Really be lookin’ forward to continue that series. (btw, takin’ cold showers for over a year now)
