Comment on Alternative to Spotify? in ~music

I used Soundiz to migrate my playlist, and it worked mostly fine. Occasionally when something is not available on Qobuz, I listen to it on YouTube, but I'd say it has been maybe a couple albums only so far.

motdiem LinkOne interesting route is to mod a casio f91w with a step counter, like the ollie watch kit. IIRC it has some limited smarts about it, but you could use it just as a step counter.One interesting route is to mod a casio f91w with a step counter, like the ollie watch kit.

Comment on What have you been listening to this week? in ~music
motdiem LinkI’ve been on a habibi funk listening spree- they’re focused on arab songs from the 70-90s with a very eclectic selection.I’ve been on a habibi funk listening spree- they’re focused on arab songs from the 70-90s with a very eclectic selection.
I’m using a iPhone 13 mini, let WhatsApp use background activities and notifications and have it synced to two computers. I use it for messaging and voice calls, and it has never been the most heavy usage app on my phone. I’d check the diagnostic logs to see if there is a particular issue : in Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements → Analytics Data.
What I’d do these days is either look for all WhatsApp-* files , or take all files with the same date timestamp, and feed it to an llm asking it to explain what happened. I successfully solved a battery drain with a different app (webtoon) this way.
