Op de Limburgse Archeologie Dag 2025 in het Limburgs Museum is een #beker met inscriptie #FLAC gekozen als Limburgse #Topvondst. #Archeologen groeven de beker in 2024 op in een Romeins graf op het Raadhuisplein in #Heerlen. Gezien de inscriptie en andere grafvondsten was het graf mogelijk van een Romeinse #soldaat met de naam Flaccus.

This past week I used #SoundConverter to convert all my music from #Flac to #ogg because I realized I'm not an #audiophile haha. I just enjoy music and content listening to AM #radio so might as well free up tons of disk space. Plus I converted all my #MP3 files to ogg because #OpenSource better streaming on my #MediaServer

Currently listening to music whilst ripping the last of my CD collection to FLAC format. Finally graduating from MP3. Took me long enough.

Top 9 Albums I've been shoving down my earholes over the last month.

Any #foss ID3 tag editor with an option to set a code page? I listen Polish and Ukrainian music and often cyrilic script and Polish diacritics become interrupted on my devices. #music #id3 #mp3 #flac

I just bought a lifetime #plex pass, after trying it for 6 months or so. I only use it for #plexamp to stream #music #flac from my #synology #nas to my #linux laptop, #rpi with #allo #boss2 #dac and #android phone. I also created an account for my almost 80-year-old father so he can join my server and library.

I came from #roon which I enjoyed a lot, but due to different reasons I made the switch. Plexamp provides such a seamless experience, I really can't wish for more. Keep up the good work!

Finally found a CD ripper for Linux – Whipper – with the goal of creating accurate copies, rather than doing it fast.

It's a command line tool, which may sound daunting, but after running a few commands to calibrate the settings to your CD-ROM, it's as easy as typing "whipper cd rip" to rip to FLAC with metadata from MusicBrainz. Very nice!

Real happy with the latest version of the #tidarr app (running via #docker).

The latest version is super fast in downloading and pushing the content up into #plex

Nothing like #tidal with #tidarr to refresh my local lib to full #flac

Time to enjoy some more old tunes in super high bit rate via #plexamp

Compliments to Mr. Clément for his work with Tidarr solution: https://github.com/cstaelen/tidarr

Apple added OPUS and FLAC support to AudioToolbox a while ago (iOS 17), but for some reason AVPlayer does not support it.

While I appreciate it, it feels very half ass. It’s like they want to use it internally (iMessage Audio Messages are using OPUS), but they don't want to incentivize a larger adoption of it.

So if you want to use OPUS to play audio, you need to build the whole HTTP Streaming mechanic on your own.

Also trying to sell my Pono Player from the sunny days when Neil Young tried to create interest in high quality audio. Sadly, the whole infrastructure buckled under the weight of corporate greed from outside, but it was always a nice little player.

Question to people who have or want to start a local digital music collection: What do you want from a naming convention?

I had a planned naming convention, but I want to make sure the program I’m working on is useful to other people. My existing goal was to make a naming convention that is unlikely to be rejected, will be sorted sanely by even the most basic systems, and is consistently machine-readable.

My solution was to have the file name be a series of structured “tags.” For example:

• BY-lemon-demon_IN-dinosaurchestra_NO-02_action-movie-hero-boy.flac

Tags can be used zero or more times in one file name and in any order, except the title which must be used only once and at the end. Tags should go from the most general grouping (usually an artist name) to the most specific part (the title). This way songs that are in the same category will be grouped together.

Is this a good naming convention for you, and what would you do differently?

FLAC 1.5.0 has been released today. With this release FLAC now supports multi-threading and the decoder can now also handle chained OGG FLAC files.
