Third spruce tree on the left

From the `Your Tech Support Is Bad` Dept.

I don't use my #Apple account.. ever. I've only used it to download the odd exclusive thing from #iTunes. So I had forgot where I put my Apple ID #password and in futzing around before I remembered, I locked my account.
I don't have my #recoverykey

I just spent 45 minutes via chat for them to say "You can't recover this account without the recovery key"... which they could have answered in 45 _seconds_ if they just read my original question.

NeoFinder for macOS and iOS

#NeoFinder 8.9 for #macOS is now able to #catalog WMA #audio files for you, including the embedded ID3 tags, lyrics, and cover art!

And of course, NeoFinder already also reads MP3, AAC, m4a, AIFF, WAVE, BWF, FLAC, CAF, OGG, AMR and even Sony DSF and SDS files. So you can keep control over your entire #music collection.

I'm a #Mac user since System 7. I loved the second Steve Jobs era, the software was great, it felt like it was made especially for me. But since Tim Cook took over it's getting worse and worse.Quality wise but also in the way it's supposed to work.

It's long overdue that I switch, so I finally start to move away from Apple software towards free software (free as in freedom).

The last days I migrated my #iTunes/Music.app library to #Navidrome, and I'm loving it.

Next is the Notes.app and the Calendar.app and after that I will have a look in the different flavors of #Linux Distros, the window managers and what not.

Only downside I see is the hardware, currently Apple hardware is really great, and I don't like the idea of using a loud x86 heater. And I'm not sure if Ashashi is good enough as a daily driver already.

tired of dealing with all the streaming service bullshit and the cloud service bullshit and the backups of backups of backups bullshit when it comes to our family's music collection

so today ive embarked on a journey

i will be re-ripping all of our CDs onto my old Mac Mini running iTunes 7 with no accounts connected, and importing them all as AACs, 320 KB/s 44,100 kHz. i wouldve done FLACs but iTunes doesnt support playback of em AFAICT, and this way im at least saving some more disk space. iTunes will handle the metadata for the songs via gracenote stuff, but it doesnt catch the album artwork. so to remedy that, at the same time while theyre ripping, im using xsane on my other linux compy to actually scan the physical album artwork for each CD and save those as higher quality images with decently(?) good compression and/or dithering if it doesn't look too bad (on a per-album basis). once ive done it all, i will transfer the scans over to the Mac and apply them to each album, checking song metadata while im at it to make sure it didnt get all messed up.

it sounds like a mess, but its actually very straightforward. put the cd in, automatically add to library. take sleeve and put it in the scanner, crop it. move onto next album. the only time i'll be doing the whole swap-usb-sticks-over dance will be at the end

i dont need to reminisce on a past where we used to do all this stuff. the next best time to realize my dreams is right now. and hey, maybe that goes for you too!

So I “purchased” Ghost in the Shell on #itunes (US) a long time ago and wanted to rewatch last night for the first time in a few years, only to find out that I can only access the English dub on my Apple TV box. I could have sworn I had watched it in Japanese last time, and the #appletv store totally lists Japanese as an included language. Is there some incantation that will fix this, or will I have to resort to “less official methods”?
