Sounds like what someone might make up who was retroactively making up reasons for commonly used terms.

OK, let me ask more pointedly. For what reason did you choose to remove that one specific word? You didn’t just repost an article you saw, you saw the word likely and decided it didn’t belong. Why?

If it’s a “joke “I don’t get it.

For the record, I didn’t download the article. I don’t particularly care if the body of the article “clears it up “. You removed a key word and that changes the title. And you know it.

For shame, OP, removing a key word in the title. When you posted this, and as I type this reply, this legislation has passed the house but not the senate. Whether or not it will is yet to be seen, but the tax credit is not yet set to expire.

I keep Apple Music too, because it does offer a lot of value for the price. The inclusion of Classical makes it a no-brainer for me.

Look into PlexAmp for lossless streaming. It’s pretty dope.

It’s called Music on the Mac, but it’s still basically iTunes. You might have it installed and not realize it.

Note, the syncing process happens in a Finder window.

Did you ever have an iPod? Do you remember how you had to have a library on the computer which then synced to your iPod? That’s how this works. Create a local library on a computer, and then sync that library Apple Music.

You do not.

Apples own Music app (without Apple Music subscription), VLC, PlexAmp…

It’s not hard if you look.

Edit, I’ve taken a look at what you’ve done and I quite like it. If my comment was snippy it’s because the question of easily playing mp3s is solved. But if the existing solutions don’t fit your niche workflow preference, like it sounds like it doesn’t, I love the idea of writing something that does.

One issue I have with ALL the local and streaming platforms (save for Apple Music Classical, ironically) is every one of them organizes in Artist>Album>Track, whereas classical music have different organizational needs. I wonder if local wave can be altered a bit to accommodate such organizational changes?

Honest question, what’s hard about playing an MP3 on any Apple device?

Thank you, friend. I do have two different personal libraries, but was unaware of the “external” libraries option.

I would welcome sharing libraries with you, if you were into such things.

Wait, PlexAmp allows for multiple libraries?

The skip intro/credits feature is nifty, and sonic analysis if you run a music library is worth the purchase price alone.

I enjoy self hosting, but what tipped the scales for me in favor of using Bitwarden’s servers is that I’m 100% confident I’m not as good as hardening my system from being compromised as they are. The vault is going to be encrypted anyway, and I think there’s a lower chance of it falling into the wrong hands if it’s hosted with Bitwarden. Same reason I don’t self-host email.

Plus Bitwarden is a cool company and the product is open source, and the premium features are unreasonably low priced.

I’m with you that you shouldn’t have to, but putting your media directory one level up in a randomly generated directory name isn’t too bad. ~/[random uuid]/media/… may not be a terrible idea in any case.

First, anything 95 years old is in the public domain. On Jan. 1st every year, works created 95 years ago enter the public domain. As I write this in 2025, everything published ANYTIME during 1929 is in the PD.

Second, I like to read articles on https://publicdomainreview.org/.

One thing you can try is to upload the movie to YouTube. But I’ve found that their detector is too sensitive, it’ll flag something undoubtedly in the PD as being under copyright.

Sorta like how the Ford Mustang isn’t named for the horse, it’s named for the P-51 Mustang airplane (which in turn is named for the horse.)

Always important to keep on wife maintenance.
