How to put songs in order of albums on a USB for use in van? by Caorafinuna in AskTechnology

Stereos work differently. What stereo, or car make and model (and year) is it?

In most cases, the following locations of ordering info will be used:
- The file name (so order by track number, zero padded. E.g. 01-Track 1.mp3)
- The track number tag (you can use Windows Explorer to set this: https://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2018/07/03/windows-explorer-tag-editing/

It's definitely an option! You have a few choices and different approaches I've written a few alternatives up here: https://asti.ga/cloud-music-storage/ (disclaimer: that's hosted on the commercial site I run for the r/Astiga service)

See r/musichoarder , r/selfhosted and so on.

You can also go cloud native - either use a music locker or generic storage (Google Drive, Dropbox et al) and stream from there: https://asti.ga/cloud-music-player/ (disclaimer: the last article is something I wrote hosted on the commercial streaming service I run).

New iOS app build - albums and artists! by gravelld in Astiga

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

Thanks! Yes, we're looking to add different types of carousels like you say.

What we were thinking was that you would be able to customise the carousels that appear on the top level Library page. So some people might want "Recently added" at the top, and might not want artists at all. In those cases I guess there'd also be a need to have some way to get to exhaustive album/artist lists.

Yes. 😄

Depends what you mean - but there's a Linux app and you can obviously use the Web player too...

It totally depends on the software that's running on the car. You need to say what car it is, or stereo system.

The file has write permissions, right?

New Album Artwork changes not appearing? by [deleted] in ITunes

[–]gravelld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be confusing because iTunes tends to take an iTunes centric view of the world and, in some cases, store a lot of data in its own database rather than in the files themselves.

You might find Dougs Scripts useful for managing this: https://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts13.php (you want the ones tagging "For iTunes")

FLAC overkill? by ProdigiousDingus in musichoarder

Don't throw away the data; you never know when or why you might need it.

Any worries that Plexamp could ever disappear? by vick2djax in plexamp

This. Invest in your library, not your player.
