I mean most of my album art is stored as part of the file. So I dont mess with it much but a quick look at the FAQ suggested it looks up data that matches artist name and albums and you can add your own images on your phone that dont save to the server but stay consistent apparently to the song or artist.
So yeah. Still just a BAMF of a software.
Yeah it has become my go to for recommending to people with struggles with Spotify.
Plus if they ever purchased albums through amazon they have all the MP3 files anyways available to download and I have them throw the files in a drive.
It says it supports network shared folders or NAS that use SMB or webdav… So yeah should.
By the way if you want a really cheap and easy setup for the time being while you figure out jellyfin/navidrome and docker and all that.
Symfonium app can run from a google drive that you can spin up for free and throw some music into. And then if you end up self hosting you can just point it to your server.
It was $3 to $13 so… I mean easy to make huge percentage swings when practically spare change for the wealthy.
This is private equity converting a warehouse into a data center though right?
Why does this feel like the new gig economy scam for companies?
Need extra cash? Make some easily by renting out server space!
Touché, but I counter with much being converting a shoe company to a consumer based AI sales company.
As in: well that’s a bit much.
This world is to stupid for me
Ok, the quick version:
I am small waisted and was especially so when I was an underfed child of early teen years. My mother was going through her 4th? 3rd Husband and decided to get married on a cruise ship this time.
Well on the pool deck there was a water slide and a leak underneath said slide, I slipped on it and slid across the deck under the railing and over the side.
I didnt hit the water by the way. I hit the balcony railing of the first deck of cabins a couple floors below and bounced into the ship. I then not wanting to get in trouble bolted through the cabin saying something about a hat to the confused people, and told no one.
I ended up swimming to far on those broken ribs out at the beach in mexico and had to get saved by the coast guard who did not bring me onboard but drug me behind their boat via life preserver I was barely holding onto face down, so assumed the agonizing pain was that and I just sucked at swimming.
Also brought back Swine Flu on that trip and got my school shut down for handing out some shirts as souvenirs.
This is gonna be how we get more Citicorp Center flaws in our world isn’t it?
And I dont expect modern “profits at all costs” companies to own up to it and fix their issues like it was in 1978.
Amazing that percussive maintenance works on humans.
See, I am unfortunate in that I know exactly where my chest pain comes from and it is from 6 of my ribs being broken and fused together from falling off a cruise ship and breaking them on a railing on the way down.
The interesting part is I didnt know I broke them until years later when I was hit by a car and the hospital doctor was just like “oh yeah you just hurt your broken ribs again, put some frozen peas on it and wait for the pain to go down”
Anyways, dont break your ribs unless you want to know when the weather is changing by pain.
On screen ads, unskippable preroll ads, mid roll ads and multi hour long ads that never end, ads on the sides and underneath the videos, embedded AI to push up their numbers that bloats the webpage.
Then on top of that, double sponsors, hidden sponsors, scams and shitty merch.
I used to think YouTube was the new public broadcast system but honestly that was never this garbage.
We have gotten so bloated and lazy.
Some rich idiot who has never heard of limits buys in and then says who needs optimization, everyone has all the resources they do, dont they? And if thy dont they should buy in so that more money is spent.
Finite is such an impossible thought for some people the same way infinite is.
Oh oh, I have had this problem and I have favorites!
So for music, MusicBee, it has a great tagging system and music organization for free. I just run it in the same library and have a folder for unorganized files I add new stuff to.
For movies and TV shows, I know there is free options but I hate them. I dont know, I am a dumb dumb I guess but I can’t get most to work for me. Filebot, so good, I will parade for filebot it is so good. I know it is paid but I paid for it twice. It can even keep the file linked so you can keep a torrent running and will do so much so simply. It kind of works for music but not really but movies and TV its like a wizard.
Books… I do them by hand. Man thats still a thorn but its clean.
I noticed this year that none of the VR games were on sale on steam during the Spring sale, like they were just ignored entirely.
I do think VR is back to dead for a while. Hit sweaty goggles that make a third of people sick just aint it.
Be warned I dont know how well it works cause I dont use it that way, and I saw someone complain it didnt pull album art for AC/DC and the developer said that it would never would work because the “/” acts as a delimiter for tags and would look for bands AC and DC. So the auto search tool is maybe not amazing.
