| greg-g | random question if anyone is still around: what music player both syncs with mp3 players and is something you'd choose to have someone use who you're supporting (family)? | 00:12 |
|---|---|---|
| Scary_Guy | Personally I like audacious | 00:17 |
| Scary_Guy | it will also use winamp skins | 00:17 |
| Scary_Guy | wait, not sure about the syncing | 00:17 |
| Scary_Guy | you mean like iPods | 00:18 |
| Scary_Guy | ? | 00:18 |
| greg-g | yeah | 00:19 |
| greg-g | or this random cheapo player thing my wife found... | 00:19 |
| greg-g | I'm about to tell her I'll just get her an sdcard for her phone and put all her music on there | 00:19 |
| Scary_Guy | pretty much every player has plugin capability and I'm sure someone has written something. anyway bbs, food | 00:20 |
| greg-g | yeah, neither banshee nor rhythmbox were having this thing show up | 00:20 |
| greg-g | I'm going with plan B | 00:20 |
| greg-g | (it's such a cheapo feeling thing in your hand too, uses the old mini (not micro!) usb cable) | 00:21 |
| jrwren | what is the make and model? | 00:36 |
| greg-g | who the hell knows | 00:39 |
| greg-g | this thing: https://itouch2.com/lonve-blue-16gb-mp4mp3-player-music-1-81-screen-mp4/ | 00:40 |
| greg-g | (not blue) | 00:41 |
| jrwren | oh man! awesome. is the UI like it is in the pic? | 00:41 |
| jrwren | can you just mount it like a USB storage drive? | 00:42 |
| greg-g | yeah, I can drag/drop files, but I'd rather my wife be able to not have to do that. Her music collection is... not well organized | 00:42 |
| jrwren | ah! i see. | 00:45 |
| greg-g | maybe I can have something tidy it up for her... | 00:46 |
| Scary_Guy | does she have a smartphone? I'd say just stick it on android in /storage/emulated/0/Music | 02:30 |
| Scary_Guy | better than some iPod knockoff, which is probably still better than an actual iPod | 02:30 |
| Scary_Guy | there are some really great music players for Android as well. Don't like one UI? Install another | 02:32 |
| Scary_Guy | oh yeah, set up a dropbox/google drive/next cloud/rsync/whatever to keep the files in sync too | 02:33 |
| greg-g | Phone is too big for her | 04:53 |
| Scary_Guy | boo, what about a phone + a watch for control? Or even better, a Bluetooth headset | 04:56 |
| Scary_Guy | or, get her a watch with a cell radio and a headset, won't even need a phone then | 04:57 |
| Scary_Guy | morning | 13:23 |
| cmaloney | Good morning | 14:43 |
