There are 258 albums on my Jellyfin instance. What about your digital music collections?

My wish for high audio quality goes so far I buy some digital albums again after more than 15 years. Was only mp3 back then, now it's FLAC, sometimes remastered.

@thomas
Currently 561 albums, 327 artists and 6.705 songs.
Gets more from time to time as I'm ripping all my CDs to FLAC to store best quality in Jellyfin. Still 100-150 discs to add.
I'm loving it 😎

@digitalcourage Ein weiteres Beispiel von bzw.
Habe soeben glücklich ein Ticket bei Ticketmaster erworben (Dream Theater am 24. November in Amsterdam).
Was mich aber total ankotzt, ist die Tatsache, dass hier auch wieder und betrieben wird.
Ich kann das Ticket an dem Abend nur auf dem Smartphone vorzeigen; entweder im Browser in meinem Konto oder in separater Ticketmaster-App.
PDF-Download und Ausdruck ist nicht möglich.
Wozu soll das gut sein?

Does anyone here have an opinion on the newly recorded Paradise Lost classic album "Icon"?

Just realised they did a completely new recording with new artwork, 30 years later.
I wonder, if it's worth buying.

Yeeha! 👉 Just ordered my Golden Circle ticket for the Amsterdam show of Dream Theater's 40th anniversary tour this autumn!
General admission is not enough, needs to be in front of stage 😎
I'm a bit crazed already...
So next step is to find a reasonably priced accommodation near the AFAS Live.
I heard sales are going fast and nearing sellout, so I took the shot.

Uargh. Eben eine lange Teams-Sitzung mit nem Kollegen absolviert und gegen Ende - er teilte seinen Bildschirm - sehe ich auf seiner Firefox-Startseite Links zu Tichys Enblick und Reitschuster angepinnt. Besucht er wohl regelmäßig.
Da kam mir kurz die Galle hoch.
Leider war ich nicht wirklich überrascht. Hat früher schon öfter sowas durchblicken lassen und u.a. über schwierige Ausländer und überflüssiges Gendern "referiert".
Tja, wie damit umgehen?

@truls46 Ich habe zum Glück sonst auch nicht so viel mit ihm zu tun. Vielleicht lasse ich mir zeitig vor dem nächsten Firmen-Event was einfallen. Irgendetwas mit FCK-Aufdruck würde ich jetzt nicht unbedingt anziehen wollen, aber gibt ja Alternativen. Let the research begin...

TIL Jellyfin music player app Finamp is on a beta channel working on a big UI and UX overhaul.
The app is finally going to be a decent music player with better presentation, better navigation and useful context menus. I dig alot! 🥳
I'll share some examples, see alt text for details.

New Now playing overlay shows the current playing position and allows direct "hearting".
Artist view has changed. First a list of top songs, albums below sorted by year ascending.
Context menu on an album with useful actions for a music player. The old context menu doesn't work very well and is rather useless.

Am Ende spielen die lokalen Punkrocker fünf Songs. Die Toten Hosen leider nicht, Campino wohl in Urlaub. Aber die anderen Bandmitglieder sind da halt so rumgelaufen.
Kaiserwetter dazu, aber am Ende doch ziemlich durchgefroren.

Tomorrow night, next concert! Finally!
Extreme playing at the Live Music Hall, Cologne.
Pretty excited, though they're not my all time favourites; but still a great world-class band I wanted to see for a long time.
Also brings up memories of so many awesome concerts there: Skyclad/Subway to Sally, Iced Earth/Nevermore, Pennywise/Heideroosjes/Beatsteaks, Transatlantic, Porcupine Tree, Knorkator, Volbeat, etc...

TIL gofundme.com as a donation platform acts rather inappropriate (IMHO, for a donation platform) when collecting donations.
Of course, as a platform they have to make a living. So with every donation they collect a fee of ca. 3% plus about 25 cents. That's all.
But when you donate you don't get this info. They rather tell you there service has a 0% platform fee (true) and ask for additional platform support (defaulting to 16% of your donation).

I think this has a lot of smell to it.

Oh boy, there seems to be little mess going on in camp .
Since an update a few days ago my Time watch won't pair with my 6 via .
At first I thought it's me being stupid but it's actually a common problem.
Happening to devices of all kinds (also cars) and is discussed here:
https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/11383-request-for-testing-and-feedback-with-bluetooth-on-android-14-qpr2-grapheneos

A ticket for Gadgetbridge is also open: https://codeberg.org/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/issues/3596

But it seems it's a GOS issue, not stock .

Dang. Hope it sorts out soon.

Kennt sich hier jemand mit gofundme oder anderen crowdfundings aus ? Wie sind da so eure Erfahrungen?
Wir überlegen, ob wir uns so etwas einrichten sollten..

Ich würde mir eh eine Plattform im deutschen oder europäischen Raum suchen. Gibt es hoffentlich. Weiß ich aber nicht, da ich mich noch nicht damit beschäftigt habe/beschäftigen musste.

Now that I know the #Ayreon 01011001 show recorded on the #live bluray/dvd is the last one from sunday evening - the one that I attended - I have to stop playback whenever the crowd is shown and try to spot me. Could be hard, it was about the tenth row on the middle to right side of the stage 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ah, good to know. Mine hasn't arrived yet. As I've been there the same evening I will do the same investigation pretty soon, I hope 😎

Yay! Dream Theater returns to the stages with Mike Portnoy on board this fall.
But: argh!! They're near my hometown when I'm far away on a family vacation.
Sigh...

Guess I'll take a ride to the AFAS Live in Amsterdam end of November then.
Something new! 🙂

I don't think this is a tour to be missed! 40th anniversary with Mike back on board...

Bruce Dickinson's album "Accident of birth" for me is an awesome piece of art!
Still after 27 years I keep coming back to it.
Best “Iron Maiden" album of the 90s (at least) 😉
