    I tag all my music through MusicBrainz Picard before adding to my server. I think most of the artists are good after that (i.e. if there is a featuring artist, it becomes a separate entry), but I typically use the album artist field to browse by artist.

    ETA: I have run into enough cases of Picard wrongly tagging my music that I wouldn’t want it automatic. It is not often, but enough that I would be annoyed.










  • I use Zotero for this. Used to use it as purely a reference manager for scientific papers, but started storing all kinds of stuff for archiving or later reading. My workflow is getting all news/articles I might want to read from RSS, and add to Zotero what I want to keep.

    With the browser plugin you can store snapshots as well, so you can preserve it if it changes or is taken down. Not sure how a mobile experience would be as I only filter RSS-items on my phone, but no reading.

    You can use file sync through a paid subscription or use youe own WebDAV server for it (I will be moving to this). Other than that, it is a database and folder with files, so you can probably use SyncThing or store it directly in Nextcloud also I would think.

    I am a folder-person, but it also supports tags so you have flexibility in how you organize.



  • The reason a very small subset of users love it*

    All the downloads making it the top app in the app stores are from people using their centralized service. The people behind these downloads have no clue that you can run it locally or can even start to understand what that would even mean. It is this usage the article is addressing.

    Like the thread starter, I am also confused to why this in particular draws so much hate.






  • This is what I use. Replaced my old Fitbit Aria 2. I weighed in on both scales for about a month, and it was consistently 0.15 kg below, which is good. The body fat measurement was a bit more off, and it varies almost nothing over long periods of time, but I don’t really trust those measurements anyway.

    I believe you can set up the scale in GadgetBridge as well, but I have not tried to do that.
