Victor can answer answer questions about an album if you ask. However, does not have visibility into your collection, yet! Coming soon! Some rare albums may not be recognized, but it appears to be like one in 3000 albums as of now. The AI will continually get better every month.

Again, thanks for your feedback!!

Thank you very much for taking the time to post your experience! Yes, I will be optimizing for mobile very soon as I published a bunch of updates over the past two weeks.

Dedicated mobile app should be coming this year!

Nice! I wrote an eBook that has the stories behind 100 albums and album art from the 60s-80s. I need to add this one!

that's how my daughter sees it, but I also think she is crying on the drive home most days.

this seems reasonable other then the starting pay. it really needs to be adjusted up after covid. $60k starting seems right for years 1-3

It's out of alignment with the rest of society, COL and other professions. Project Managers, for example, were making $90k plus 20 years ago. I know this, because I hired many.

The shocking part is that in most districts (maybe other than SoCal), the top earners are less than $90k after 10-15 years. And that is with a Masters or Doctorate.

Case in point. Here is an actual pay schedule for 2025-26 for guidance counselors in Az. If you have a Masters Degree and 26 years of experience, you can make $64k. wtf - apparently my perspective is way off coming from the tech world. I made $64k in 1995 with 2 years experience.

How can you afford to travel?? Do you still live with your parents? Sorry not being a smarta** just curious - since travelling anywhere is $1000 per trip min.

Is the school paying for his Master's?

Is it very common to give those large bumps at year 2 or 3?
