I see that #Apple is sticking with the glass UI. The travesty done to Music is still there. & I still refuse to use it for anything, unless I need “Automatically Add to Music” and #Swinsian hasn’t detected it. The Glass thing was done at #Microsoft about 15?–20? years ago. I see all the designers from Microsoft finally got the glass interface they wanted. and they’re not ditching it. Hopefully next MacOS will rid itself of glass UIs.

I couldn't find a suitable replacement for #iTunes, and somehow I settled for a player called #doppler which pairs with a tagger called #yate. I don't know why, it was at the peak of Covid. I was probably going insane.
Doppler is so barebone you may as just listen to the preview in Finder. Doesn't support Genres, it's just title and track name and that's it. And Yate is so insanely complicated it's lke learning Rust from a textbook written in Ethiopian.
I finally ditched the two of them and replaced the player witn #Swinsian - it's like the original iTunes but without Apple's bullshit.
As for tag editing, asking an #LLM to write a quick golang script to achieve whatever I want to achieve is WAY easier then trying to get my head around the insanity that is Yate.
I think there'll be more and more cases like that, where people used some weird niche packages just because they were the only game in town, but now thanks to LLMs they can finally ditch them and roll their own

I'm having some pain setting up #navidrome as it seems a bit fiddly to get my #swinsian metadata (namely last played, star rating, play count) into the navidrome database. I'm learning #sqlite3 and #python as a result 😅. Well I did an introductory python course earlier in the year... #database #sqlite #musiclibrary #musicmetadata #metadata
