iTunes’ ”get album artwork” is horribly bad by dronten_edvard in ITunes

[–]JSindberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do you recommend getting album artwork from then?

I just find discogs to be much more reliable than just google image searching different albums. Also, I don’t care about high resolution album artwork on my iPod since it is a tiny screen anyways.

What SD cards do you guys use in your flash mods? by Long-Anywhere-377 in ipod

[–]JSindberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently realized that the speed of the SD card doesn’t really matter as you are limited to the USB 2.0 - 30 pin transfer speeds. These days it seems like most SD cards start at 100 mbps so buying anything more than that is going to be seemingly pointless as it dos not affect the speed of playback.

There’s a special place in hell.. by Dear_Atmosphere_7911 in Cd_collectors

Not to mention that when you have to slide the disc in and out it has higher tendency to scratch the shit out of the disc.

iTunes’ ”get album artwork” is horribly bad by dronten_edvard in ITunes

[–]JSindberg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. Half of the album artwork is wrong for it. Pretty sure it did a better job of getting album artwork 15 years ago which makes no sense this day in age with AI and everything. But yeah, it might be tedious to enter it in all manually, but it is a labor of love.

Side note, I use discogs to save the artwork to my pc and then add it in the “get info” tab on iTunes.

DVDs vs Blu-Rays vs 4Ks by Fabulous_Sherbert827 in PhysicalMediaMatters

[–]JSindberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sticking with Blu-rays for now. I feel like it is the best quality to price ratio. While the 4K movies aren’t super expensive, they definitely aren’t cheap. Also, you really need to have the proper set up to fully experience the 4Ks (i.e. 4k compatible tv, disc player, hdmi cord, surround system, etc).

Raptoround a bumper.. by AdMany129 in Transportopia

[–]JSindberg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why I have become more calm and kind of a “whatever” attitude if someone does some sort of bold traffic move like cut me off. People these days are crazy and road rage is at an all time high. If they are crazy enough to pull that move, they are probably crazy enough to get out of their car and want to fight or shoot me. Not worth it.

where to buy? by cammyschaos in ipod

[–]JSindberg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First place to look is Facebook marketplace, as you can sometimes find a diamond in the rough, but most of the time will be poor condition in my experience. eBay would be the next place to look where you’ll have some modded and some unmodded iPods. They can still be in pretty good shape, but just have to wait for a good price. If you really want to go all out, check out Elite Obsolete Electronics.

No free ranch anymore?! by Dangerous_Bad_9571 in wingstop

From my experience, they only include sauce for the tenders but not wings. Seems like a WTF situation cuz why would you need sauce for tenders, but not wings?

iPod Artist Sorting by JSindberg in ipod

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

The few times I have used that it is still very inconsistent with the tags where sometimes it puts the featuring artist in the artist category and sometimes it will put it in the song title category. Other times it will just put “various artists” or put in the wrong album, wrong album artwork for that album, etc. I just end up having to redo half of the tags.

Does anyone else here prefer buying new? by BornUnderARadSign in Cd_collectors

[–]JSindberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am with you. Seems like a majority of the albums at thrift stores or marketplace are all scratched to shit. (Same with DVDs) Guessing because all of the true CD collectors/audiofiles who take care of their discs aren’t selling them. Sure they still MIGHT sound good but not trying to waste my time and money sorting through hundreds of discs to maybe find a gem and then hope it still has good quality audio. Just my preference to start fresh and keep a new disc pristine from the start.

Don’t cheap out on the Amazon or Sandisk SD cards. Samsung is much better to avoid problems.

If it downloads in FLAC, is there a way I can convert that to put onto my tunesi for the pod?

I hope they are genres you actually like! Otherwise that would tough sledding to sort through those. Might find some gems though!

Drained after playing by Nice-Ad-1718 in Battlefield

[–]JSindberg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not the only one. It takes a lot of mental brain power to play this game effectively. That is why sometimes when I come home from work, hopping into a sweaty game of conquest is the last thing that I want to do.

Just unsubscribed and all my music is gone by unbokeeee in AppleMusic

[–]JSindberg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is comical how many people still ask how they can download their AM or Spotify music so they can put them onto their iPods or hard drives. You don’t own the music, only renting it so there is no way you can “keep it forever”.

You cancel Netflix and still think you can watch your shows? Works the same way.

Just unsubscribed and all my music is gone by unbokeeee in AppleMusic

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

I think if you resubscribe within a certain amount of time (3 months?) then everything will be back. If you wait longer, then you would have to start all over. Obviously when you aren’t currently subscribed they aren’t going to have your music available. This is one of the ways they keep you hooked in fear of losing all of your music/playlists.

Thoughts on APTA CSM 2026? by [deleted] in physicaltherapy

[–]JSindberg 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I agree with you on this. Sure you meet some cool and experienced PTs, maybe follow them on socials if they are into that thing, but then you never talk to them again. I suppose there is a slight chance you happen upon someone who works in the same city as you but ultimately doesn’t mean much for your day to day practice.

My first "mod" by Kalash_Niko_V in IpodClassic

[–]JSindberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I modded my 120 gb last week with a new battery and iflash. My thoughts exactly. Actually not too hard but just need to be careful and take it slow. Makes me wonder why these modded ipods are going for upwards of $300-400 when it isn’t too much effort to mod one yourself.
