BlueTardis

Did they ever finish the first one?

Gratitude and helping others

Took me a minute to figure out how to test this as I don’t use subtitles but…it works fine. MacOS and iOS.

Look up Vinegar for iOS and install

Been using it for some years now

Sounds like the gain is way different on your input.

Too high will cause increased levels of distortion

If you don’t mind trying something different then give the GameBall trackball a go.

It has a lot of features and smarts that are controlled via the firmware within the unit (and as such doesn’t require extra software). Plenty you can do with extra software (same as any other device but it works well with generic)

Thirded. It just works. Even deployed to elderly relatives with wifi printers with no issues.

Definitely needs some more testing as those numbers in the table look low to me. Archiving vs listening is a key point and storage is relatively cheap.

Listening on cheap Bluetooth headphones then you can get away with a low bitrate. If you are using better gear and/or music that has a lot of dynamic range and comes from strings (piano/classical/etc) then I would recommend 320 but your mileage may vary.

Listen, compare and decide. I have a library of about 110k tracks (musicbrainz-Picard is amazing) and I wish I had:

1. Focussed more on encoding albums rather than just songs and
2. Had 320 or flac

Well done. It’s a Lenovo issue. Had to do the same thing recently for a friends laptop and did the same dance.

I have some IT background so kind of knew what to look for but it still was a pita.

I thought you wrote “null” for a second. Extremely fast backup target.
