  • Microsoft claims "2026 is the moment" for AI PCs, but its essay-length beginner explanation only creates more confusion — Is it any wonder adoption is slow?

  • Most people mention PopOS (debian-based) or Bazzite (fedora-based). I switched from Windows to PopOS (because I'm more familiar with debian) a few months ago. However, I just switched over to TuxedoOS. The main reason I migrated away is that PopOS is moving to Cosmic, which is a DE (Desktop Environment) produced by the developers of PopOS. From what I've read, Cosmic is in a rough place and I had no interest in using it as I like KDE. My recommendation would be to find a distribution that supports the desktop environment that you want to use right out of the box. I've also had no issues with gaming on either PopOS or TuxedoOS.

  • HP and Dell disable HEVC support built into their laptops’ CPUs

    Jump

  • So in this case, even if your hardware was impacted by this, if you tried to play a H.265 (HEVC) file within Windows, it would play, but will software encode / decode. What if you are playing something through a client like VLC or Jellyfin Media Player? Prior to this change, would Jellyfin report Direct Playing (using iGPU) and now it will be forced to transcode on the server side, and VLC would still use the CPU for encoding and decoding, since there is no server to do it for you?

  • What are you guys using to sort and name music?

    Jump

  • MP3Tag + MusicBrainz Picard. I use MP3Tag to set the ID3 tags and picard to move them into the folder structure I want.

    It takes a couple hours to set everything up, but I can't rely on Musicbrainz alone because my music has no metadata on Musicbrainz, so I set the tags myself.

  • Bandcamp Clubs [new Bandcamp feature]

    Jump

  • Looks like there are currently four "clubs". Each club has an album release every month. Are the tracks all released by the same artists (new material) or do they select current tracks on Bandcamp to feature in their monthly list? If it's the latter, then it'd be closer to humble monthly but it's DRM-free and you get to keep what was available to you when you were subscribed, even after unsubscribing.

    I think my ideal scenario would be a spin-off of this idea, where you pay a monthly fee to select, say, five artists on Bandcamp. For the month you would be able to download all of their content, and the monthly fee is split between the five artists. With this it just seems random, but if you are looking for new content, it may be nice.

  • I also use Jellyfin. Before being able to set custom tag delimiters, you had to ensure your music artists and album artists ID3 tags were correct. I believe it used a ';' to separate multiple artists. Now with custom delimiters you can set your own. You may be able to try and fix things by setting 'feat.' as a custom tag.

    Ultimately, I would recommend just using mp3tag and spending a few minutes setting up an action that replaces 'feat.' with a delimiter, such as a '|'. Run it through your current library and you should be good.

  • easy way to manage audio metadata / file organization?

    Jump

  • I haven't tried it, but Metadata Remote is a web-based metadata editor.

    Personally, I use MP3Tag with custom actions to set the tags, and MusicBrainz Picard to move files. My music isn't on MusicBrainz, so I do the tagging myself, which usually doesn't require too much effort from me.

  • New Jellyfin Server/Web release: 10.10.7

    Jump

  • Thanks! I thought most people don't use navidrome if they have multiple users because they can't create user-specific playlists. Is this not the case? What music features do you find limiting on Jellyfin? Also, how did you get your family to switch off music streaming for your navidrome server?

  • New Jellyfin Server/Web release: 10.10.7

  • Could you please explain your use case for Music Assistant if you already have Jellyfin/Plex and Navidrome?

  • This is because lemmy.world defederated, right? So at this point would we recommend people to make a different account on an alternative server? Not a problem for those that have just joined, just delete and make a new account. But have there been any recent developments on migration tools for moving accounts to a new server while preserving account data?

  • Jellyfin Smart Playlists

    Jump

  • It's closed source, but Symfonium has had smart playlists for a while, if it's a feature you're willing to switch for. It's great to see this feature in the Jellyfin server, and hopefully all the apps can implement it in due time.

  • If you self host music and want synced lyrics

    Jump

  • For those on Jellyfin, there's a plugin that can pull lyrics from lrclib. Not sure how it exactly compares to this, but it works for me.

    How do/did You Get Your Friends into Selfhosting?

    How do/did You Get Your Friends into Selfhosting?

    Jump

  • That's fair. I'm making the comparison to other hobbies. If someone is not interested in roller skating, but decides to try it out because one of their friends really likes it and invites them, they may find they enjoy it... or not, which in that case they won't go again, which is fine. Alternatively, they find a new hobby they enjoy, and selfhosting could give skills that turn into a potential career, but that's if they really enjoy it. I don't think it's uncommon for friend groups to have outsiders (me) and "force" them into trying new things, but maybe my comparison doesn't hold up here as this is a bit less about socializing.
