| Mooncairn | Could someone recommend a music player? | 00:30 |
|---|---|---|
| cmaloney | I can but it's incredibly over-engineered | 00:31 |
| cmaloney | Logitech Media Server w/ Squeezelite | 00:31 |
| cmaloney | but it literally does everything I want in a music player | 00:31 |
| cmaloney | that and MusicBrainz Picard for library management | 00:31 |
| Mooncairn | Do you run that on a server? | 00:33 |
| Mooncairn | Ok, never mind. You're right. Over-engineered. | 00:39 |
| Mooncairn | I wish Linux had better music player options that don't rely on stuff like LMS. | 00:39 |
| Mooncairn | I prefer Clementine, but it's buggy when dealing with WMA files (throws a decode error). | 00:40 |
| Mooncairn | Most other players I've tried are missing functionality I need or are difficult to use. | 00:40 |
| Mooncairn | Cantata *might* be something I can deal with, but right now it's barfing on MP3 files and I don't know why. | 00:41 |
| jrwren | WMA files?!?! | 01:20 |
| jrwren | does MSFT even make tools to create those these days? | 01:20 |
| Mooncairn | I don't remember how long ago I did that. AFAIK, there's only one or two albums I did in that format, mostly because I was being lazy and a Windows machine was the only thing handy at the time. | 01:21 |
| Mooncairn | I'll have to dig up the actual CDs and re-rip them. | 01:22 |
| Mooncairn | Been meaning to re-rip everything into FLAC that I hadn't done in the first place. | 01:22 |
| Mooncairn | I'll just pile that on top of the mountain of tasks I need to do. | 01:22 |
| Mooncairn | My music collection is a hodge podge of things going back 25 years. | 01:23 |
| Mooncairn | Ok wow, it *is* only one disc. | 01:30 |
| Mooncairn | Okay, I'll see if I can hunt it down tonight. | 01:32 |
| Mooncairn | Right after I experiment w/ Clementine a bit and see if I can find other file formats it's barfing on. | 01:32 |
| Mooncairn | IIRC, Clementine was having problems with more than that one album back when I was using KDE. | 01:35 |
| Mooncairn | Never mind, I'm way overthinking things and yet not thinking enough. I'll deal with one album at a time as Clementine barfs on them. | 01:37 |
| greg-g | I've gone through a lot of different systems for music from all local to even doing the 30 free trial of spotify. I'm currently doing the PlexAmp thing (and thus Plex for movies/tv) via a Synology NAS. I use EasyTag because I'm particular. | 01:39 |
| greg-g | (I did the Logitech squeeze box via a synology before, which was really a good option for loving room use which I don't have a great answer for that right now because I hate turning the TV on, and I don't have a decent stereo there anyway, which isn't the squeezbox's fault, of course). | 01:43 |
| jrwren | navidrome is pretty great. | 01:45 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, and the hardware players are getting pretty scarce again | 01:45 |
| cmaloney | https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Squeezebox-Player-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B002LARRDK | 01:46 |
| cmaloney | Actually, that's not bad for !450 | 01:46 |
| cmaloney | $150 | 01:46 |
| jrwren | kinda a bummer that rpi doesn't have a better analog codec | 01:59 |
