  • Spotify would just play the same.few things over and over and over after a while for me. Especially since their algorithm will bend over backwards to only play 1-2 songs per album.

    With the features of plexamp I regularly get songs I'd go "ouh, haven't heard that one in quite a while" about.

    That might be only me though. I encourage everyone to try plexamp with tidal for one month (which is free on tidal, not for plexamp). The free version of plexamp lacks many of the features, sadly.

  • Not remotely close. Plexamp dies have the same radio features Spotify has and they have their purpose, but those "Guest DJs" as Plexamp calls them are different.

    First of all, song radios do very often just include roughly the same styles of the original song, mix them up a bit. This specific "guest DJ" holds the style almost exactly if at all possible with the songs you have access to.

    Secondly, it is not a Radio. It injects itself into a running playlist (which can be generated by sonic analysis as well, different topic). So you'd have your regular playlist going, notice that the style of that one song that's playing right now is exactly what you want now, have it hold the style and when You're getting tired of it,.you switch it off and the regular playlist will continue.

  • That's why you don't listen to remixes but to metal covers instead :P

  • Certainly worth a try IMHO. Especially since you can get a free trial for tidal, pay a month of Plex pass and try this for a month for 5 bucks or so. Since Plex pass offers a lifetime subscription, Its basically a one time purchase piece of software anyway.

  • Plex does a rather comprehensive analysis of audio (if you have Plex pass that is) and is then able to do some really cool stuff regarding playlists and such. One of those things is a mode where it keeps injecting songs that have the same vibe as the current song until you switch it off again at which point it'll just go on with the playlist. It dies that surprisingly well.

    Works for local audio on a Plex server capable of doing the analysis (no ARM support ATM) and for Tidal.

  • While that is indubitably correct, the only jurisdiction I know that makes binding references to whatever is used as “Hippocratic oath” is the U.S.

  • Not always, since the Llama MP3 that came preloaded was introduced somewhere in 1.xx, yet that's still long enough (from 1998 to 2011 or so).

  • That's just a lie by the secret llama world government to distract us from whipping their asses.

  • I don't think that you could reproduce the llama ass whipping feature even with all the code available.

  • I mean... What contribution would this code actually be to the audio player world at this point?

  • The Hippocratic oath is not a thing in most countries and not applicable anyway. If it was, kidney transplants would be done without a doctor present (in the US that is, don't overestimate your little made up oath ritual internationally)

  • Woah there, you shouldn't berate someone, belittling them for being “too young” and then act like a child in the supermarket when they didn't get the Matchbox Car they wanted. Jeez!

    1. why is your experience the norm and what I say "pretty rare" not the other way around? Or do you consider "two women I know" a representative group? Are "two women I knew" more significant than what professionals will tell you?

    Paragard side effects can include:

     
            spotting between periods

    irregular periods

    heavier or longer periods

    more or worse cramping during your periods

    pain when your IUD is put in, and cramping or back aches for a few days after

    1. Was that a copper IUD (which was what I wrote about) or a hormonal IUD?

  • I've got one, but I wouldn't want another one every year, and I certainly would not want to stop having fun times with the wife either...

  • What is your country's "coals to Newcastle"?

    Jump

  • Yes and no. It's a circular relationship. The proverb is known to have already existed in Ancient Greece. The pantheon (the version that existed before Xerxes torched the place) was apparently inhabited by tons of owls, especially it's roof construction. Since the pantheon was a temple to Athena, people assumed Athena held Owls holy and the owl became linked to Athena, and since Athena was the goddess of wisdom, Owls became a symbol of wisdom. Since the city and her patron goddess are related by name, Athens is linked to owls as well.

    But for the meaning: It's to be taken literally. There were many owls in Athens, so they'd not exactly need any more.

  • A “numbers game”? Do you think there are little men in your balls, strangulating every sperm cell when it's formed? Or… do you think the pill works by somehow interfering with the ovum itself?

    Because it doesn't. Quite the opposite. Just as male contraception methods don't try to kill sperm, but to shut down the factory. Besides: You cannot measure the difficulty or complexity of medical procedures by how many cells are affected. By that logic, brain surgery would be way easier to do than amputating a leg.

  • yeah, not wanting 10 children is a matter of cost, of course. It's baffling to me how unreflected and naive opinions regarding reproduction still are...
