Yo
I havent played much with discogs, it seems to have more complete info about songs, but I think I had some trouble finding some of my tracks. For manual genre tagging, I tend to resort to genius which too has a lot of info.
Organizing my library can be kind of soothing
Indeed, I could easily do that if I had enough time. I kinda like organizing stuff and such.
the tags that Deemix gives you are usually pretty decent to start with
Indeed! Deemix also gets tags that OneTagger currently doesnt fetch (Composer, Label, Author etc.).
Genre (along with lyrics) are the tags that probably need most of the work. And because in OneTagger I’m using 3different platofroms (plus whatever deemix got) to fetch the genre tag, it can be a mess. Each platform may categorize songs differently and many times the program wont find a match for all platforms. I have to manually edit them all or create a bunch of different actions to automate this.
You can keep tagging files ~forever and still not have them perfect… I just stop after when I think it’s good enough and I might start tagging them again at another time.
Hahaha I think I’m guilty of the charges, I tend to make huge posts (esecially when I want to avoid my responsibilities or I am in the mood)🫣
Thank you for your kind words! :)
Thank you! I might it to the guide!
Edit: Apparently this post seems to have crashed my instance (mander.xyz) or something. I will edit my post later…
Just wanna jump in here and recommend Quodlibet. It handles tags very well.
For some reason, this comment worked, I donated for the first time ever ~5€ to the internet archive (probaly first time donating anything online). Internet archive is probably one of the most important things on the internet.
Hahaha, I ~just came after a search using g**gle due to ddgo being down, I noticed the “web” search is no longer the default (as it was discussed some days ago here).
Google seems to have a huge grip on people and they don’t seem to notice (or act against) the terrible services of google search…
Yes! I had one, from 2016 till 2020. Ulefone vienna (not a rugged phone).
If you like modding like me, then it’s probably not a good idea, as they usually have little community support and the mediatek chipset contributes to this even more.
Back then, I think it did probably had some kind of a malware, but with root I removed it (I could also do it with adb commands if I knew back then).
If you want a hardened phone and for some reason you cant find a proper case to protect your device, then such phones may be suitable, otherwise I’d look somewhere else.
Lol, who wants these anyways. One more reason not to use google play services. (Though I have google play services on this phone.)
Automatic AI-powered screen lock for when your phone is snatched.
Theft Detection Lock is a powerful new feature that uses Google AI to sense if someone snatches your phone from your hand and tries to run, bike or drive away. If a common motion associated with theft is detected, your phone screen quickly locks – which helps keep thieves from easily accessing your data.
One good thing you could try is use this app:
Well, can’t argue much with that. It’s a shame it crashes often… I might check kdenlive some time though.
video editing: davinci
Btw, there’s olive editor 0.2. It’s kinda unstable, but much better interface than davinci. Plus, it’s open source.
I have about 25gb free out of the 1tb my laptop has, sooo not a good idea, plus it adds complexity. Well, I’ll just improve my scripts and try to keep things tidied up so that it becomes easier. (Lol, now I’m post factory reset and I’ve started importing stuff back to the phone. Till tommorow noon everything may be set up.) Tnx for your interest!
As a side note, I’ve realized that transfering files from the phone to the laptop (instead straight to the external hard drive) makes the process a lot faster, compared to moving them to the drive directly, but still, I prefer the wireless transfer as I can sync folders easier and it’s faster.
I’m transfering data from my phone to an extrernal hard drive which I connect to my laptop. To do the syncing a bit more automated, I’ve written some WinSCP scripts. I create a local hostpot with my phone, I connect my pc to it and then I move files. (My phone has a dual wifi antenna which allows to have both the hotspot on and connect to my wifi, so I can post this comment without using data.)
The data I transfer are ~all sorts of types; Media files (either from my camera folder or various other folders), text or similar files (I also keep logs of the files on my device to help me restore stuff), encrypted files, backups of apps+data/phone settings/contacts/sms/calls etc. At the moment of writing this I’m transfering about 30-40gb to my pc as I slowly prepare myself for the factory reset.
My workflow is far from automated, but I’ve made a lot of progress since last year with the help of the scripts. It’s sad though, because backing up and restoring everything now takes about 9hours, while with an sd card I could reduce it to something like half an hour… My next phone will probably be fairphone 6 or 7 in 2028 (now I have a xiaomi mi 10 running custom roms) if it has an sd card slot.
I have usb 2.0 though, so it’s gonna be slow ~no matter what😭. I get ~15MB/s on average and it can reach ~40MB/s with wifi hotspot, while usb goes at about ~6MB/s on average and can reach about 30MB/s.
The issue are the small files. Wifi handles them much quicker. Especially listing folders with thousands of files. Opening my camera directory (~8.500 files) with wifi takes about 5seconds, while with usb it takes about ~1-2minutes…
About nas, I would too like to have one and automatically backup everything there. I might build one some time.
Simple, include sd cards on phones and use usb 3.0 or higher…
(I say that as I am about to wipe my device with ~200gb data and then import them back again through wifi hotspot because wired transfer is slower than wireless and it doesnt have an sd card slot…)
I dont like autocorrect both for privacy reasons (though there might be open source ones) and for accuracy reasons. I dont want something else to write for me what it thinks I want to say. (Hence I’m using a customized keyboard in florisboard beta which looks almost the same as gboard.😌)
Palaye Royale

I’d recomment checking listen brainz’ tools, like this one https://listenbrainz.org/explore/music-neighborhood/ which shows relative artists. Or make an account there (beware; it publicly shows your listents with an accuracy of a minute, not just a day). It nice becase you can also find people with similar tastes.
Have fun exploring!
And it works on fennec (firefox from fdroid)
If you set it up properly (like using apps to sync folders) a big enough sd is like local “cloud” service.
I was thinking about it recently, after my phone data were very close to being deleted (I managed to prevent it eventually), I was angry at how not having an sd slot caused me so many issues. If I had a 1tb sd I would just autosync app backups and files to my card and not worry ~at all about losing data from bootloops etc.
Lets gooooo🔥
(It has happened in the past, it will probably happen again in a few months, but still, its a win!)
