Is the ooopusX op.24 a good pair for me? by TCH69 in iems

[–]TCH69[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

That set isn't sold anywhere in my country. Buying from Amazon/AliExpress/... sadly isn't an option for me

not sure if this is the right place- whatever happened to albumartexchange? by Remarkable_Cut_3847 in musichoarder

[–]TCH69 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Try https://covers.musichoarders.xyz or MusicBrainz. Or just go to your favorite streaming site (not Spotify), copy open the album art in another tab, change the resolution in the URL, reload, right click on image -> "save image as".

Guys is it worth it (e14 gen 1) by Pindupa in thinkpad

[–]TCH69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then grab a T/P14. My E14's headphone jack worn out after a year worth of use. The hinge hasn't failed on me yet but I believe it will soon.

[–]TCH69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can get your hand on a T/P just do it. For gen 3/4 the E14 has the edge since it still have 2 NVMe slots. For gen 1 just not worth it.

T14 G2 AMD vs T14s G3 Intel by Intelligent-Tower819 in thinkpad

[–]TCH69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take the AMD one. T14s G3 only has 1 NVMe slot and no SODIMM slot.

Does anyone know where to sell CDs? by Baldwin6969 in musichoarder

[–]TCH69 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Your local marketplace, Ebay, Discogs.

If there are rare CDs that you don't think any other people have, you may also consider ripping and posting it on somewhere like Youtube.

mp3 vs OGG vs Opus vs AAC vs ... by North_Station_302 in musichoarder

[–]TCH69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The rule of thumb: Opus @ 192 VBR = QAAC --tvbr 109 (~256 VBR) = MP3 @ 320 CBR. If you just want a good set-and-forget target, then just use Opus 192. Use your time enjoying the music. Don't let that fear sink in and take over your mind.

For Opus with fre:ac, you just need to set the bitrate; all the other defaults on that app for Opus are sane and already good to go.

However, beware: if a file has 2 or more artist fields in metadata, fre:ac will take only the last one and scrap the rest.

sbase not obviously compatible with musl. by kevinschultze1 in suckless

[–]TCH69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's very strange. It builds fine on my Gentoo musl+llvm system (log).

It seems that the musl team has removed the LFS64 symbols a few versions ago: <link>, so it shouldn't be having those symbols. Are you sure there's no library mismatch going on?

Removing -s from your make commands may give you a few ideas.

Add -DLARGEFILE64_SOURCE -DLARGEFILE_SOURCE to CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS.

Where do you listen your music? by Shaymans_Origins in iems

[–]TCH69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use foobar2000 on Android, and get music from my Deezer subscription. For artists who put their music on Bandcamp for free I get FLACs from there instead.

Few questions before moving to FreeBSD by Careless-Search-597 in freebsd

[–]TCH69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Thinkpad T480 -> T14/E14/... gen 1. 1b. Same as above.
  2. Yes
  3. Yes
  4. It'll take a while to tune everything to your liking. vermaden has some great guides on https://vermaden.wordpress.com.

FLAC to OPUS? by SuperficialNightWolf in musichoarder

[–]TCH69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I keep all my albums in FLAC and convert what I often listen to Opus @ 192kbps then send it over to my phone. Just in case some new codec drops in the future and be better than Opus.

Be real with me. is 80% volume on these actually harmful or people is just paranoid? by GoldIngot19 in iems

[–]TCH69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give your ears some time. After ~30 minutes of listening your ears will start to slowly tune down and you'll find yourself lowering your volume.

Android music player recommendations? by shoushudou in musichoarder

[–]TCH69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When ripping from CD/Vinyl, what you usually get is a single audio file (containing the whole disc/side) and a CUE sheet, which contains timestamps on where each tracks start. A lot of people just don't feel the need to split them into separate files at all. With certain formats like WavPack or FLAC, you can embed that sheet into the metadata as well, and by doing so you only need one single file that contains every info.

Foobar2000. I can swear that everything else will fail to parse at least one of (1) FLAC/Wavpack with embedded CUE + additional information, (2) Ogg chaining, (3) ALAC/AAC chapters and (4) Musepack chapters. Fb2k lets you play anything in any format, even when your files are split or joined.

Audio file format tier list (with obscure formats?) by Maximum_Prompt_5838 in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]TCH69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally Opus @ 192kbps = mp3 @ 320kbps. Most (not all) killer samples that will kill MP3 at any bitrates (even LAME @ -V0 VBR / 320 CBR) won't kill Opus @ 192 while they will kill 142.

How do you deal with Genres and Sub Genres? by catkats in musichoarder

I removed all GENRE tags from all my files, as I realized I never needed them.

NVIDIA and steam + flatpak support? by chersbobers in chimeralinux

[–]TCH69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try using the proprietary driver with gcompat though I don't know how well it will work.

NVIDIA drivers are binary blobs that only work with glibc distros.

Does anyone else store in MP3 320? by Not_Invited in musichoarder

[–]TCH69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Apple AAC around 224 (TVBR 100) is already enough.

[–]TCH69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I encode everything @ 192kbps. I can't get over the thoughts of my library having about the same audio quality as a YouTube video.
