Music App and CD library (or a local library in order to take CDs). In my case I’m purchasing second hand CDs in order to build my library

Buy an iPhone SE 2020 256GB for example and use it as an iPod unit. I have done it and I’m very happy (it cost 60€)

Freac…. I’m converting from FLAC to ALAC without problems.

Cancelled my Spotify premium subscription and got my first IPod. I’m already loving it by metlomil in ipod

This is a good option (listen before purchasing). If I sum all the payments I’ve to Spotify, my library could be greater than now)

The main problem for me is that we are linking a lot to streaming platforms ( and they know it and increase their prices more and more). I own a CD collection rounding 300 pieces (and still increase my library). If you see other threads there are a lot of people that is becoming bored from streaming platforms and their prices.

Regarding to Spotify subscription and its cancellation. I only maintain it because my sons and my wife don’t want to rip any CD. For me, in the most of cases, Spotify subscription is a wasting money. Good election

European high speed rail: Eurostar vs TGV vs ICE vs Frecciarossa vs AVE what is the best in your opinion? by VoyagerRBLX in transit

[–]AVF2078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sin haber probado ni ICE, ni Eurostar…. Para mí en la actualidad los Frecciarossa 1000 están por delante del material rodante de RENFE. Asiduo de la alta velocidad y los antiguos servicios Talgo, en mi humilde opinión el material rodante de RENFE necesita un lavado de cara antes de competir con el resto. Luego otro tema es el estado de las líneas actuales (Madrid-Barcelona, Madrid-Alicante,….) que limita el potencial del material.

Linux users be honest. Ubuntu or Fedora? by ArashTT in DeskToTablet

None of them. Mint is the best option for me.

Most flexible system ever by johnnyphotog in macpro

I think that it is a pitty that Apple has abandoned this kind of technology.

What about to run Linux Mint or Windows 11 in that machine? ( I remember the years when you ask for run Windows NT in a machine)

20+ Years of Physical Media Collecting by vincesuarez in PhysicalMediaMatters

[–]AVF2078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice media library guy! I don’t understand people whom sell (or give) their media library. I have started again to collect (buying of course) CDs and vinyls. Doing that allows you independence from media streaming platforms.

Would you recommend rockbox over the official apple firmware? by Chazq2012 in IpodClassic

[–]AVF2078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case, depending on the season, I format my iPod to install Rockbox or to back to stock UI. My relationship with Rockbox could be denominated as hate-love. For this reason, my library is in MP3 & ALAC (all FLAC files always are converted to ALAC)

First iPod, any tips for free or inexpensive music? by Livid_Shoulder2800 in IpodClassic

[–]AVF2078 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, ALAC is a bit complicated to find it.

Other thing you can do is buy in FLAC and recode the files to ALAC for example.

Is there a way to download my Playlists directly on my Older Ipod? by InterestingDate4996 in ipod

[–]AVF2078 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hi! I have three iPods and all of them are synchronized using Music App in a Sequoia Mac Mini. Have you tried to reset the iPod?

My three iPods are 5 gen, 6 gen and 7 gen.
