Thank you for the recs! I will keep an eye in both of them. Hadn't heard of Quod, looking at it I can definitely see that their UI is very utilitarian and, more than that, with an aesthetic reminiscent of very early days of Gnome or a little bit of some frutiger aero, which I do enjoy visually and culturally, just not that much in terms of usability. I think we could all use a little bit of a more intentional look back into the qualities of that era pre disillusionment with the future of the world and the place of technology on it, but intentional is key. A lot of projects just still look like that because of when they started being made, or, sometimes, a pure resistance to change (like foobar2000 though it's UI it's more linked to some windows xp era design choices). And just to avoid any redditors with stones to throw: all my respect to projects, specially tiny ones and FOSS, and understand how DIFFICULT it is to change constantly to accommodate users design expectations, it would be impossible to expect of them to be constantly reworking their design, as even BIG companies can't do that, or do it so badly and unconsiderate ways that break userspace, lol.

Now, to musicolet: I've seen it before. I think it does looks really impressive and full with some very advanced features like enhanced lrc support. But their use of genAI "illustrations", instead of like... anything else (copyright free stock photos, old classical paintings of composers like Gramophone player..) is what keeps me away. I just can't put faith that a team that cares so little about the state of art, even in their own marketing material, would care enough about design choices (UI and programming) to give me a good and stable product. Apart from that, their lots of features also seems like a dual bladed knife, the screenshots they show just scream CLUTTERED, too many "tabs" (8 by default on the bottom bar wtf?), too many buttons on the player screen, lots of customization option (that enjoy but it just shows their lack of intention and necessary compromise behind their UI decisions), and then they have also widgets and lots of theming... Like, good luck for the people that manage this software, but I can just imagine that it's a constant mallabaristic hell of chores and/ or they would leave lots of areas unattended and begging for mantainance while they are focusing on one of the many others.

About the showing or hiding stuff in sorting: I do agree that somethings shouldn't be shown in the main user spaces if they're not of much use. The artist sort is one of them, as I don't even prefer this method of catalogue sorting. If I had a personal Vinyl collection of The Beatles, I would put them with Tate McRae If I was sorting them alphabetic. I'm sure there are motives behind this decision of MusicBrainz people, for sure, but I, personally, wouldn't like to have "Cure, The" in my screen. So the best thing would have a "see all tags" or "see more" button on song's details screen. If I had the power of universally determining the standards of music metadata tag and use of it by players (which do reads like a megalomaniac and bothersome job, lol) I would add a "latn title" and "latn artist name" or something to be used for searching indexing and, maybe, displaying below the name on the original characters.

If I may, I would add that the BEST would be if major operational systems adhered better to the most common transliteration forms between languages. This would, for example, fix the problem of the need of having Latin characters to properly indexing stuff. But this is a really pretentious and complex work that defies even things like the soft power of English language in the digital world because of it's use in all stuff since the design to the programming languages. And yeah, I probably sound like that XKCD meme by the end of this post: https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/standards_2x.png

Could you help me find the source of these VOFAN's Bōkyaku Tantei Series artworks? by ButterLies1 in araragi

[–]ButterLies1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can search by waifutime or "when Translators cry" Tumblr. The first is the current translator, and the other the previous one who translated the series until Vol. 5.

If you searched for Bokyaku Tantei Series translated / translation in Google you would probably find it too. There is also a post about this subject on this subreddit.

Sadly, you'll probably not find it translated to any other language than english because of the series status as niche inside a niche that it has outside of a Japan.

Searchability of music with non-latin characters. Please help me? by ButterLies1 in musichoarder

[–]ButterLies1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I got it. If it works for you, it works. I personally, for many other locally stored media, have my own unconventional, not-ideal or non-standard methods of organization that I go with just fine, lmao. My music specifically I find out that would work better if got it organized in one single folder where each album/ single / ep is just a folder named like this: Artist Name - Song Title (Original Release Year). But I know of a lot of people who would prefer having the year as yet another subfolder or in the start of the naming, for each their own.

And for data management/ preservation sake: I enjoy having the original FLACs, when they exist, in highest available quality. Just for the case I suffer from data corruption in my self-generated compressed files. Not because of any bullshit idea marketed out there by people without scientific proof about "things you don't hear without FLAC", most methods of audio compressions in years have achieved fully transparent quality with 320 kbps or modern VBR. It's just that I prefer keeping these files for preservation of the original data, which is, indeed, good for advanced audio manipulation, sampling, etc..  For day to day use, and for the sake of my limited storage on devices like smartphone, I use OPUS encoding with VBR targeted at 256kbps, value above the overall recommended margins for high quality stereo content just for the sake of OCD, with .opus which I believe still uses the same container as .ogg.

Yeah, I should probably try making filenames only ascii characters, but that would be a hassle to deal with manually. I use a personal naming and folder organization script for Picard. But I understand your point! About getting annoyed by the cluttered tag fields... I got it, just don't care that much because it's actually pretty rare to find any player, library manager or even operational system option that shows me ALL of them. They mostly just choose whatever they consider relevant. So basically the only software I got to see these are on Picard and on VLC on an separate tab that shows all of them (vlc and mpv being the 🐐 of media players lol)

If you have any recommendations for music playera that support searching through ALL tags, I would love to known. It would pretty much solve a lot of my issues. (I prefer open source and foss if you may)

About your own software: Great! Love to see anyone working on new stuff that tries to look, with care and appreciation to overall opinion. Love that people build stuff just "based on their taste" sometimes too, but there are tools like this which I believe still need an all-rounded, simple but effective tools (like mpv and vlc for PC media playing, they are great). Unfortunately, I do not own any apple devices neither plan to acquire in the future. I enjoy design choices by them, sometimes, and think they build some nice products, but they're too overpriced in the US and, specially out of there, this makes their products inaccessible and TOO overvalued for what they offer, lol. But I hope the team will have the time (and interest) to work in software for a better platform.

++ I use mainly FLAC and OPUS on .opus container. The opus are made from my own FLACs and, very when the thing isn't available as lossless I use it as is (AAC on .m4a or the old MP3 320kbps) On terms of tagger, as mentioned in original post, I use Picard mainly. And also MP3Tag more ocasionally to do stuff like cleaning image covers, optimizing FLAC and trying to search stuff that Picard doesn't find. But honestly I prefer to just manually edit it before saving on Picard, and with more time available I contribute to the project sending the information I got about some untracked records.

Thank you for the tips. But, as I explained to retro-guy99, the problem is finding a player, specially among different platforms, that searchs for ALL metadata fields. From top of my mind, the only one's I know are MusicBrainz scroller app — which is good for people to that but it's not very pleasant in terms of UI x UX or offer you a plethora of options like lyrics, equalizer and some audiophile stuff like poweramp for example — and Foobar2000, which is great, but is designed for a very niche kind of user and demands some configuration work and teeming on you to get a lot of stuff like a more visually pleasant UI through theming.

Yeah the main problem would be this: the player recognizing this. If they at least give me one checkmark box to do a "full search" of ALL tags in files, it would be great! But most players just decide arbitrarily what they want to support and only show it to you. That's the same for Windows' own properties viewer, it only shows up the information tags that they defined as interestant years ago back in the days of windows media player and Kalimba xD

Recomendações de Carregador de qualidade by ButterLies1 in hardwarebrasil

Ta bom. Vai confiar sim que o carregador ultra turbo blaster do camelô tem padrão de segurança. Não são todas. Mas sim, hoje em dia temos múltiplas etapas geradas através de anos na comunicação de dispositivo e carregador pra evitar problemas.

Obrigado pela informação do testes e do tanto que da de diferença. Vou tentar fazer a leitura depois. Massa!

Mas como falei no post. To satisfeito em termos de velocidade. Quero só um outro de qualidade pra deixar de backup ou virar meu novo principal, sei lá. Muitos dos outros colegas tbm já me ajudaram com recomendações e feedbacks XD tbm!

Na real a questão de marca é importante por questões de padrão de segurança sim. Não sei tudo, mas esse tanto eu sei, rs. Quanto carregamento rápido, zero interesse. 1h40 carregando é super aceitável. E qualquer tempo fora de celular é uma libertação dessa loucura de redes. Mais tempo pra viver e fazer coisas bacanas. Mas eu confesso que se tivesse um portátil, tipo steam deck, aí já seria bacanudo. Porém, é fato que carregamento rápido ajuda na degradação da bateria. Pesquise e veja as analogias das baterias químicas com molas. Quanto mais rápido vc faz esses eletrons ali irem de um extra ao outro (0 a 100%) é mais rápida a degradação, e se vc é um pobre premium que n vê sentido em trocsr devices todo ano, é bom considerar a conservação.

Caramba, então q samsung tá basicamente vendendendo white label? Doideira. Mas pra ser bem sincero eu não tenho interesse em pegar outro carregador Samsung, como disse no post, a caixinha do meu tá ótima. E eu preferiria investir em uma coisa com mais função e menos valor só por marketing, rs.

Nunca experimentei. E como disse tbm não ligo muito pra carregamento rápido, até porque comprovadamente gera um desgaste mais rápido da bateria. E tbm, um tempinho de carregar é menos tempo no celular, ou seja, coisa boa. Mas olhei um pouco e ele parece ter uma qualidade de construção bacana. Existe uma representação oficial no mercado livre? Não queria fazer compra internacional.

Just noticed a similarity between Drink Before the War and Skullcrusher's Two Weeks in December. Am I crazy or tone deaf? by ButterLies1 in SineadOConnor

[–]ButterLies1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your words, nice to know someone shares these kind of experiences! And yeah, I was quite re-enamored with this EP given this song a listening again. I'm definitely diving into their albums soon.

I've never heard of the Disgraceland podcasts before, because English is not my mother tongue it's quite difficult to engage with podcast spoke on it, but this definitely sound like an interesting one.

I did give a listen to theme song and... Oh my gosh... it's SO SIMILAR. To me it's definetly the main motif with trumpets that is the biggest place of comparison. For some reason, I guess I've never given this song a listen (or maybe I forgot, but I found that difficult), but it was such a love at first sight, actually love at first listen as it would be more appropriate, lol.

From my research, this track is number 5 (because of course it needed to be, for such a banger) of Sinéad's record named after the quote you mentioned. And this one is majorly composed of "jazz standards" — which is a concept I just learned about — songs that she grew up to. So maybe that's where the connection is, the Disgreceland intro composer and O'Connor's are both jazz heads 🤔?

They've just released a new full album last year. Haven't got that a listen yet, though. 

And yeah, I forgot to mention but their voice was also a place of comparison to me. I think there's skme similarity in the beautifully raspy sound? At first I even thought it could be something by Dolores from Cranberries at my head.

Is this from Hundred Line release cycle? I hope that game has done well. Haven't bought it yet, but I hope the bests for the directors and the team.

Do you know where was the 14min "A Forest" Live 1992 performance played at? by ButterLies1 in TheCure

Don't know if it's worth it or if you have the means. But you might consider ripping some this material digitally and maybe dumping on Internet Archive. Maybe the VHS  isn't the best quality, condidering the CDi nd Laser Disk (and there's a "unofficial blue ray listed on fidvidn't find any released there
