1) Finally got to grips with my iTunes music collection. I learned how to use tags to correctly collate all of my tracks.
2) Learned how to use Chrome bookmarks correctly. Did you know that you could put groups of bookmarks into folders then place them on your bookmarks bar? https://youtu.be/llqUNWs3qz8
3) Installing Ubuntu Linux onto a pre-loved laptop.
4) I now have a much better understanding of Bluetoooth. I can now send my music to various Bluetooth speakers without the angst that used to trouble me.

I feel I have to say “Well done!” You’ve spurred me on to look at Ubuntu, and I’m just about to reply to your post on that. As far as the other points you made
1) I’ve been goaded by my children into looking at Spotify again. They use it all the time, whereas I subscribe to Apple Music because we bought a HomePod for Christmas and all my Playlists were in iTunes. I don’t use Tags – I probably ought to, but I tend to listen to albums rather than individual songs – but it’s certainly something I ought to look at! Anyway, with all these Playlist in iTunes/Apple Music – how do I get them to Spotify, and vice versa – how do I get their playlists into Apple Music. I found the excellent SongShift app which for the princely sum of £4.99, can move songs between any number of music services. It works brilliantly. Hopefully in the very near future Apple will allow the HomePod to play Spotify as a service.
2) I don’t use any Bookmark service in the browser, because I don’t want to be tied to a browser; I’m currently using Brave – which I really do recommend. It’s built on the same open-source Chromium base-code as Chrome but without all the Googleness. [For the same reasons I use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine.] Anyway I use Pocket to archive articles and also diigo as a portable bookmarker that works across browsers. Look at both of these Phil as an alternative to using the Bookmark Bar in the Browser. I do use Pin Tab a lot these days for sites I frequently visit.
4) Bluetooth still a mystery to me. So you’re one-up on me there. If it works, great; if it doesn’t, I curse and hope it will the next time.
