@numericcitizen Pills never helped me. If one truly has it, as I do, it is a very heavy tax on career andvancement and personal relationships. Every day. All day.

We are accustomed to hearing that we are making excuses. We are used to people thinking we can just get over it or just do better.

@siracusa I found it didn’t like my beard and would not render me as bearded no matter what I tried

@WiredDifferently I am trying to figure out the catalog thing. I have purchased the same CD three times. I felt lucky to find it, each time. Nothing at all wrong with the first disc.

With respect to cataloguing compilations, I have a section for continuous DJ mixes, electronica/EDM not mixed, soundtracks, themed tributes, holiday themed, and other general compilations. I think there's a section for compilations based on decade or year--I went through 70s and 80s nostalgia pretty hard core.

@WiredDifferently I'm using Exact Audio Copy which offers four options: freed, CueTools, MusicBrainz, and GD3. On Apple Music, I'm using what's built-in. Cover art matching in EAC is much better, but it's easy to edit what Apple gets close, or plain wrong.

@chrisheck If you subscribe to Apple Music or Spotify, there are public playlists of music from the show that are astonishingly complete. The show ran for 12 seasons with about 6 or 7 shows each. Episodes are short, lasting in the 20-25 minute range.

@odd No, you’re 100 percent correct. Both parties are authoritarian and right of center.

@odd I have been using the MakeMKV application and Handbrake for compression. But it is a labor of love. You have to want it. I dive in and do a bunch of rips on a weekend, but then it might be another week or two before I do more.
