  • Can I ask what made you stick to Sideberry instead?

  • Kindly explain where so we can make our own opinion.

  • Not for sure, but I have a few leads.

    I've heard and discussed with artists who mentioned that producing vinyl was very expensive compared to cassettes, which are cheap and easy to DIY.

    Then I'd add that cassettes have a retro appeal nowadays. Lastly, they are an analog format, opposite to the CD which is the 1:1 copy of the downloaded FLAC album downloaded from Bandcamp.

  • Hi,

    Thank you for offering an alternative.

    The interface is pretty barebones, even for a "keep it simple" app.

    I'd be wise to consider making those tiles smaller, having huge boxes containing 45% decoration isn't the best I think.

    Else, I'd add sync or access to calDAV items as soon as possible.

    Cheers

  • I see a lot of folks on bandcamp who sells cassettes for instance

  • That's a very solid advice! I started dual booting all my old macbook with Fedora KDE and another on Pop_OS and they are doing ultra well.

  • Thanks for the write up @Guenther_Amanita@feddit.de ! That will guide my further distro hopping I wanted to know what you meant by 'outdated' regarding Pop!_OS? What's wrong with it?

  • I'd like to try Asahi on a VM, does anyone know if that can be done nowadays?

  • Thanks for your answer that's what I was afraid of, that's too much of a chore to hunt for every source and put it in the app, I'll pass for now and keep getting (more or less) delayed updates as usual

  • I feel very dumb but I just installed it and I don't get the logic: do I have to enter every app into Obtainium to make it happen or is there some kind of auto discovery / import that I can use?

  • Wow that's an very interesting beast! That moment when you realize that the website is the tool itself really is something

  • Hi again !

    You guessed right: I indeed use those files on my computer very occasionally and I'd rather make a shortcut / alias (like you rightly suggested) than mounting the share at every boot. True, if you have quality disks (which are getting more difficult to find nowadays) you shouldn't be worried about wear.

    On a side note I could do my tag editing just fine, thanks again for your help!

  • You're absolutely right! I'm not super tech-savvy and I was convinced that those file sharing protocols were more or less equivalent (I only tried to compare in terms of speed). I never payed much attention to it because my other computers were doing fine with one or the other.

  • Thanks! That's a great reference and I'll keep that in my bookmarks 👍

    Eventually (with help from others) I mounted the share with

    sudo mount -o rw,soft,intr,nfsvers=4 192.your.NAS.IP:/volumeNAME/some-path /nfs

    (I don't put it on my fstab to save a bit of wear on my NAS)

    Cheers!

  • Thanks for your help! I did setup my NAS share as NFS capable, and I mapped the users as admin. Using the command mentioned in my other comment I could mount the share successfully and find it in several applications. Cheers!

  • Thank you for your insight, I was able to access the share with several applications using a mount point, so I can keep everything in the same place.

  • No worries, using your tip and others' comments I could setup the whole thing. Cheers!

  • Hi again!  Your command worked very well. Thank you kindly! The share is indeed available on the mount path. Experiences with the audio taggers is very uneven though:

    • puddletag doesn't see the /nfs mount
    • Ntag doesn't see the /nfs mount either
    • Ex Falso does manage to see the /nfs mount and I could successfully edit some tags, great!
    • Tagger does also manage to see the mount and edits can be made

    I cannot so far use everything but having two options is more than enough. Thanks for your help!

  • NFS is indeed enabled on my NAS, I'll check this later today and report back, thanks for your help
