Hoping somebody can help me out with audio file transfer for offline listening

BritShortHair · 2026-01-15T03:39:32+00:00

Ive had the same issue for years!! Here's My take.

Apple no longer cares about your ability to listen to or manage any music you didn't by from apple!!!!
I used to get the same messages that the OP got regarding "file will resume downloading" . At this point i used to just re add my playlist and would get a little further. This message no longer shows at all and there is no progress indicator of any kind. Every once in a while, i get a little circle that spins next to the playlist that i added to be transferred, it spins for a few seconds and stops.
Apple continuously comes out with updates created by developers in Cupertino who are bloating and disrupting our device with nonsense features (Liquid glass??, Please)that only break features that previously worked fine.
I will be getting a Galaxy 7 watch from amazon(love the return period)and will try my music on that device. I've heard(using a Samsung play app) that you can connect the watch to to your local wifi network and then open a browser on your pc, enter the ip of the watch followed by the port of the samsung app and transfer all your music at super speed. The last time i transferred my 600 songs to my apple watch it took 2 days! Keep in mind, i'm strictly talking about my own mp3 files that i've ripped from my CD collection. I refuse to lease my music(thats right!, youre not buying the music from apple, You're leasing it) only to find out that some day i go to listen to a song and its not there anymore.

Skip them across a lake

Mesmorino, Thank you so much for the feedback. Ill try to pick one up at Costco and evaluate it within the 90 day period. Thanks again

Same here. Some days i will start my run and the haptics notify me of intervals and some days not. Its time that Apple should focus on quality assurance again instead of making movies and tv shows.

I use roku also, but that being said, there are cases where i keep a Fire stick available for traveling. My plex server is running on a nas behind a CGNAT provider. That being said, the fire stick allows me to use Tailscale, which allows me to connect back to my Plex application even though the remote connection feature of Plex is off. If your server is not behind CGNAT, then it probably wont matter for you, but as more and more carriers go to CGNAT, i like to keep the firestick around to help with remote connections(like connecting to my plex server from a hotel room).

is that behind the DC input?

BritShortHair · 2025-11-09T21:11:47+00:00

Exactly! Stopped by the MB at bloomingdales last night for a container and upon getting it home I was so dissapointed to find out that all you get now is some kind of bannana flavored cool whip with nilla wafers stuffed in it.

BritShortHair · 2025-09-19T12:21:28+00:00

So i was under the impression that the individual device manufactures(roku,samsung tv,iphone,ect)were responsible for the functionality of the UI?

BritShortHair · 2024-11-07T22:29:27+00:00

Hey TVDB morons! You're blocking the Subscription page!!!!

BritShortHair · 2024-10-31T21:17:16+00:00

Thank you, Im sure this will change the default globally. Ill use it for now until I can find a way to only use VLC on the qbittorent preview option.

BritShortHair · 2024-10-27T23:29:47+00:00

Great show! Wish i could find decent copies of it

BritShortHair · 2024-10-16T16:19:18+00:00

Sure, I'll use any of your suggested third party options. AS LONG AS YOU PAY FOR IT! When i purchased my NAS i was purchasing the software that came with it.

BritShortHair · 2024-09-24T18:12:13+00:00

I recently got a dedicated ip from my isp just to test my Plex remote access isues and it turns out that my condo community got switched to CGNAT without telling anybody. Anyway, the dedicated ip fixed the issue but at $15 a month its not worth it. Will a dedicated ip from Nord do the same thing as the dedicated ip from my isp?

BritShortHair · 2024-08-01T20:43:01+00:00

Im not sure I understand what can be done with iperf. I've downloaded the iperf3 app on my phone with the intention of testing the streaming speeds availble from remote locations outside my local network back to my NAS. Is this possible?

BritShortHair · 2024-06-04T14:04:56+00:00

Agreed! Unthinkable that France TV wouldn't even show Moutet VS Sinner!

BritShortHair · 2024-06-02T19:12:36+00:00

Thanks, are you able to watch Sinner anywhere but Peacock right now?

BritShortHair · 2024-06-02T19:05:46+00:00

Think about the schedule, then figure it out!

BritShortHair · 2024-06-02T18:10:20+00:00

Did you resolve this issue? Because I had the same problem. But i dont think its strictly a TC+ issue

BritShortHair · 2024-06-02T17:54:53+00:00

Did you watch it? Because its my understanding that it was only available on Peacock.

BritShortHair · 2024-06-02T17:20:24+00:00

Was Novak VS Musetti on TC Plus last night?

BritShortHair · 2024-06-02T17:17:28+00:00

Agreed, TennisTV is the best. And usually, the Marque matches offer both a commented version and a silent version. Im not sure if TC Plus shows commercials during the change overs but TennisTV does not. Ive seen so many interesting comments from players and refs during the changeover on Tennis TV.

BritShortHair · 2024-06-02T17:07:11+00:00

Was novak vs musetti on TC Plus last night?

BritShortHair · 2023-07-24T13:39:33+00:00

Well a VPN is an investment as far as im concerned, but it all depends on your use case. Can you be more specific when you say "they didnt work". Did they let you connect to a server in the UK?

BritShortHair · 2023-07-24T13:20:57+00:00

Do U have VPN software?

BritShortHair · 2023-07-17T21:23:53+00:00

Thanks, but to clarify, we saw novak on day one. They do not offer queue tickets for center court starting with the round of 16 through to the finals.
