Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Yeah, that's what I thought too, until that drive failed during a system upgrade. I'm not ripping 300+ CD's AGAIN. Youtube it is.

I just use spotDL to download albums directly from spotify/YouTube. I set it to download directly into the jellyfin music folder in a folder with the album name. This way I just paste the album Spotify link on spotDL and it's done. The album is available with the metadata as soon as jellyfin rescans the folder.
Picard can identify them by the acoustic ID similar to Shazam.
Might be worth it to sort and categorize them with something like lidarr (once it works again)
This also works surprisingly well. Once it actually runs... It can be quite buggy.

Picard is great but i recommend tagging/fingerprinting songs in smaller chunks even if the collection is small because it freaks out whenever it tries to update tags from internet
To this day nearly a third of my Jellyfin library is stuff I downloaded through ourTunes over the dorm LAN in 2004/2005.
Does anyone know why Jellyfin cant auto scan for mp3 signatures of random directories i have it targeting and auto-populate song/album/artist metadata into the existing library? Do I need a specific addon?
What high seas have good sources for music these days? I feel like a lot of music is harder to come by on the trackers I've searched. Occasionally I can find a particular album but is the more niche stuff invite trackers only?

Yep. Got archives with some files dating back to around 1999/2000, some of the stuff impossible to find anywhere nowdays. Same for movies.
Imma go against the grain on this one and say, thank fuck for Spotify, I don't want to waste my time sorting and downloading music that i can have on demand anywhere anytime and I can discover cool new music every week.
Ofc, you know, everyone should do what they like, personally I like the spotify model, the same way Steam stopped my gaming piracy, it stopped my need to pirate music.
i still go to the high sees for Movies and TV shows because personally I am passionate about that and I don't want to deal with shit like music being switched in Scrubs because licenses expired, the music in that show is a huge part for a lot of episodes you can't just switch it out.

Gnome Easytag worked perfectly circa 2005.
