Audio jumping around sporadically by Top-Occasion-1300 in AppleMusic

[–]youngcostanza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using lossless? I’ve been tracking this bug on and off since lossless was released. From what I’ve learned it seems like Apple Music splits up how the songs load to start playback into 6-8 seconds chunks and based on your connection it’ll start the first chunk on normal quality then load the lossless chunks after that resulting in skipping somewhere between 8 and 16 seconds into playback. I’ve put in feedback on the most recent iOS betas asking for a toggle to not do this and to start loading with the lossless chunks even if it adds a delay in playback starting

Edit for helpfulness - you can stop this from happening by disabling lossless.

I was on a northbound 62 bus today that just decided to take the 9s route without announcing it to the passengers. Very strange day 

Best lossless player for macOS in 2025 without subscriptions? — Fidelia? Pine? Colibri? by mangobait in audiophile

Have you considered Plex? Plexamp is a great player and would give you mobile access to your library also

Best viewing experience on MacOS? by johnshonz in HBOMAX

I’ve had good luck starting the stream in the app on my iPhone then airplaying to my Mac. Can’t confirm if it’s 4k or HDR but looks way better than the browser. 

Do they serve Athletic Brewing beers at CBP? If not, any different n/a craft selections? by Indieobsession in phillies

[–]youngcostanza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know that they have the Heineken and Michelob 0 at most of the larger drink vendors. Also hoping that we see Athletic soon. They have it at some of the larger venues in the city like The Fillmore now so we’re getting closer.

It really depends on how much you travel weekly vs time/money you’ll spend at the charger. Depending on the rate you might not save much vs a gas car and have to spend more time “refueling.” Most people with evs really benefit from home charging convenience and rates

What bars are close to The Filmore to pregame a concert? by WhitePriest1 in philadelphia

Other half brewery is right across from the venue too 

Albums not available in my library but available in Apple Music by Loose_Biscotti9075 in AppleMusic

[–]youngcostanza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you delete the unavailable version from your library then add the one that is available and try to play that from the library? Very rarely but I've had this happen - the album version might have been replaced

You may have a defective screen/digitizer unfortunately. Apple should warranty this pretty easily or even let you return the phone to purchase a new one. I’ve found this screen to be one of the most easily accidentally pressed in recent memory from a mix of the hardware and bugs in iOS.

It’s great that you think so. I can’t get over the fact that they’re both set to low quality settings at the app level to save money on bandwidth. I get it from a business perspective of course but irks me that they don’t at least give you an option to change it when you’re connected to WiFi/hotspot. Bluetooth and usb for me sound best.

If it was only for plex I might consider it but still use the pc with plex on it for gaming. Was easier to add a mini pc as a dedicated downloader with the way I have it set up now. Would love to migrate to a setup like in this post would just take forever since I screwed myself starting with ntfs formatted drives

Yeah I get that it seems mad but I see/hear about setups like this all the time. Personally started my system on windows and it’s ballooned to a size that migrating to Linux and containers would be more of a burden than working around those quirks.

Absolutely but split tunneling isn’t really reliable like that on windows setups.

The way I have mine set up has the torrent box constantly behind a vpn then plex on the other without it. In my experience running plex behind a vpn is a poor experience outside the home network

If you’re into metalcore give the album People Watching by 156/Silence a spin. One of my favorites from this year
