Beeftweeter posted:do they not have wifi? in nyc the MTA sucks at a lot of things but the connectivity is pretty good. most cell providers work too, but not as well they do at stations, not on the trains, and it hasn't worked on my iphone since ios 15. something with that update completely broke public wifi networks for me and it hasn't worked since. it'll connect for about 15 seconds and then traffic just stops flowing for whatever reason

so I got a copy of Serato DJ Pro as a buddy of mine is a big DJ and I want him to show me how he does his thing both for my own sake and so I can pass it on to the boys someday well I'm an idiot and didn't take into account DJ software doesn't work with any of the mainstream music services these days for DRM reasons, and I haven't bought music in 10 years or more 👍🏻 incidentally eqMac is an excellent global equalizer for Mac and changed my 16" MBP from sounding like a good Bluetooth speaker to sounding like a really, really good Bluetooth speaker https://eqmac.app

IUG posted:equalizer stuff both intimidate me, while at the same time it strikes me as audiophile nonsense. equalizer is real because people like bass, and coincidentally the studies that measure sound preference in untrained listeners (and to lesser extent trained listeners, e.g., mastering engineers) all end up concluding "add some boom, maybe tone down shrilling a little bit). part of it has also to do with how many software volume switches do switch volume down monotonically (basically, make 200 hz quieter for the same amount as 10 khz), which fucks up the how poo poo sounds because different frequency waves travel differently (and boosting lows is a lazy fix for that, instead of implementing decades old math into your software that does this correctly)

when i use apple music in my car via carplay, i can ask siri to play a song, and (usually) it will have a clickable link to the album that the song is from, in case i want to listen to other songs on that album. but how about a clickable link to the artist, so i can see all their albums and select another one? nope. after several years of use i have not figured out how to list the albums by an artist. note i am not talking about my library which contains nothing. i'm streaming the content from apple music, that's what i'm paying for

I have to make sure my last search is not in my personal library because I swear if I’m in the car and ask Siri to play a track. it in my library it doesn’t do it because he’s searching my library, I have to specify to play on Apple Music .

exe cummings posted:the apple podcast app is good. the recommendations are pretty spot on, and it has all the features of the paid app i was using for years Continuous Playback doesn't work -- it advances to 00:00:00 of the next podcast in the playlist and remains in the Paused state. playlists don't work - sometimes it doesn't move to the next podcast in the list, it selects one at random instead it can't cope with not having any unplayed podcasts -- if you start playback when there are no podcasts to play (via e.g. the Play/Pause button on your headphones), it will pick an already played episode at random, reset its played status, and start playing that volume control doesn't work -- pressing the up or down button on the headphones does nothing, you have to press the Play/Pause button twice to pause and then unpause playback and for a brief moment after you unpause it will respond to the volume up and volume down buttons downloading podcasts doesn't work - Apple MITMs your podcast subscriptions to spy on your downloading habits, and their proxy's cache is a piece of poo poo so you can look at the new episode on the podcast's web site and click play in your web browser and listen to it but the app pretends that it doesn't exist and pulling to refresh does nothing downloading podcasts doesn't work, part 2 - the app randomly doesn't bother to download new episodes, even though it has acknowledged their existence. you can open the app and stare at it not bothering to download the podcasts until you manually initiate the download. if you're listening to podcasts while off wifi, playback will just stall out completely when it gets an undownloaded episode (although this isn't really noticeable anymore more now that playback stalls completely every single time because continuous playback doesn't work at all)

posting here because i don't want to resurrect the ipod megathread which has been dead for eight years. today, i killed: ipod screen (broken while replacing the front plate with a less scratched up one) ipod screen 2 (broken while attempting to replace the first ipod screen) macbook pro battery (lasted 11 years) immediately following my murderous spree my new job called me up to say they're going to send a m1 macbook air my way. i am now frantically googling if an angry spirit cast a curse on me.
