[00:12] <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)?
[00:17] <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
[00:18] <Scary_Guy> you mean like iPods
[00:18] <Scary_Guy> ?
[00:19] <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
[00:20] <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
[00:21] <greg-g> (it's such a cheapo feeling thing in your hand too, uses the old mini (not micro!) usb cable)
[00:36] <jrwren> what is the make and model?
[00:39] <greg-g> who the hell knows
[00:40] <greg-g> this thing: https://itouch2.com/lonve-blue-16gb-mp4mp3-player-music-1-81-screen-mp4/
[00:41] <greg-g> (not blue)
[00:41] <jrwren> oh man! awesome. is the UI like it is in the pic?
[00:42] <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
[00:45] <jrwren> ah! i see.
[00:46] <greg-g> maybe I can have something tidy it up for her...
[02:30] <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
[02:32] <Scary_Guy> there are some really great music players for Android as well.  Don't like one UI?  Install another
[02:33] <Scary_Guy> oh yeah, set up a dropbox/google drive/next cloud/rsync/whatever to keep the files in sync too
[04:53] <greg-g> Phone is too big for her
[04:56] <Scary_Guy> boo, what about a phone + a watch for control?  Or even better, a Bluetooth headset
[04:57] <Scary_Guy> or, get her a watch with a cell radio and a headset, won't even need a phone then
[13:23] <Scary_Guy> morning
[14:43] <cmaloney> Good morning
