@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.

@chrisheck LOL! I do have a check up coming soon!

@patrickrhone Yep. Drinks just make me sleepy now. Buzzy, but sleepy.

@patrickrhone Looking sharp as always!

@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.

@philomath Strongly considering adding the text of your reply into my text subsitutions on Apple devices.
