[00:30] <Mooncairn> Could someone recommend a music player?
[00:31] <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
[00:33] <Mooncairn> Do you run that on a server?
[00:39] <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.
[00:40] <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.
[00:41] <Mooncairn> Cantata *might* be something I can deal with, but right now it's barfing on MP3 files and I don't know why.
[01:20] <jrwren> WMA files?!?!
[01:20] <jrwren> does MSFT even make tools to create those these days?
[01:21] <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.
[01:22] <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.
[01:23] <Mooncairn> My music collection is a hodge podge of things going back 25 years.
[01:30] <Mooncairn> Ok wow, it *is* only one disc.
[01:32] <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.
[01:35] <Mooncairn> IIRC, Clementine was having problems with more than that one album back when I was using KDE.
[01:37] <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.
[01:39] <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.
[01:43] <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).
[01:45] <jrwren> navidrome is pretty great.
[01:45] <cmaloney> Yeah, and the hardware players are getting pretty scarce again
[01:46] <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
[01:59] <jrwren> kinda a bummer that rpi doesn't have a better analog codec
