What do all you die hard pirates do to discover new bands?
I have discovered so much great new music via Twitch, but I am sure not every genre is well supplied with good DJs.
Once you have a verdict I am sure a lot of people would enjoy a review post.
Once you have an account, either because you got an invitation or reg is open, most usenet indexers have a free tier that lets you grab a few files per day. The invitation alone is not going to give you a premium account for free.
I do recommend getting on to a couple of good indexers and using the free grabs to see how you like usenet. Personally, I love it, even though it isn’t free. YMMV.
If each frame in the media contains the exact 1920 × 1080 pixels …
This image has the same number of pixels on the top and bottom half, but you can probably see the bottom half looks worse. That’s what lower bitrate does. It’s like turning up the compression on a jpg – you are not getting the exact same pixels, just the exact same image size.
I’m a resident of the retirement home, but this is still funny.
You can keep tagging files ~forever and still not have them perfect… I just stop after when I think it’s good enough and I might start tagging them again at another time.
QFT!!
My current genre process is more hands-on but it’s working for me. When I grab something, usually a complete discography, I look up the artist on Discogs, and use their genre pick. Sometimes I will put in specific genres for specific albums but usually, one genre for the whole discography is good enough.
Normally I can tolerate the Discogs genre picks, and this gives me a pretty consistent and bounded list of genres used in my library.
But like you said, it can never be perfect. Organizing my library can be kind of soothing though, like playing solitaire.
Great guide, thanks for sharing.
I would like to add that for people who may be intimidated by the tagging section, the tags that Deemix gives you are usually pretty decent to start with. You can clean them up to match your preferred format with a couple of quick mp3tag shortcuts. The hardest part is rectifying genres, which it looks like a lot of your automation is designed to do.
mp3tag is an amazing tool and anyone with a big music collection would be well served to study it!
100% Usenet here. Maybe I am basic, but it has everything I want and grabbing stuff is very easy.
Once in a great while I cannot find something and then I ask a friend to check his private trackers.
YMMV
There must be more to it than being a Pixel phone, as I have a Pixel and I do not have those features unlocked. It’s an old Pixel, though.
I would add SmartTube for Android TV.
Deemix still works for me.
