I introduced a coworker to modular synths, and then suddenly, they had a ton of synths and debt to sweetwater, and then they got divorced. I kinda wondered if their GAS led to a divorce

Foobar2000, but I'd recommend hosting something like Navidrome and using a browser for playback these days depending on your setup / household

without a GPU it's pretty rough - my old i5 had a lot of issues with it, but I upgraded to a GPU that supports AI stuff and it's a lot smoother now.

my bigger issue with it is detecting things incorrect but that's a matter of fine tuning the config I think

for old electronic music - Youtube, honestly. the algorithm is pretty good for finding old electronic music. like if youtube recommends me some random old 7 minute song with nothing but a picture of a record, there's a good chance I'm gonna like it at this point.

I'm on some of the oink/what successors and honestly, it's so hard to build ratio that it makes me not really like them at all.

>I find it quite baffling you'd want to drop In halfway through a 3 hour movie, you'd miss out on so much!

if it's good I'll rewatch it, if it's something I've already seen then I'm not missing anything at all. There's so many movies I've turned off when the beginning is boring, it's a decent way to watch new movies and it's how movies on TV used to work.

I'm trying to watch Robert Altman's filmography slowly, and there's so many slow 3 hour movies that watching them in small pieces until they click and actually make me interested in the entire thing helps. if it's all action or something maybe it seems pointless, but some films are a very slow burn, and this helps.

also it's not just movies, but TV too. I would use the shuffle button on comedy shows I've seen a million times before, now tv style drop in works just as well as that when I just want a laugh but don't really care what episode of something I'm watching. now I don't even have to pick a series, I can just pick a channel labelled comedy.

did you grow up with cable tv? maybe it's generational or regional thing

I've setup something like this recently and I think it's great - I really like the idea of just dropping into the middle of a movie because honestly who has the time to watch a 3 hour movie? that's one thing I really miss about TV

kinda tempted to get a CRT just for it to make it even better

this place does a very good of portraying it's self as neutral, rational and logical, but it's definitely not any of that.

>I watch a decent amount of movies, I can count on one hand the number of times I couldn’t rent it for <$5 on Prime or YouTube.

delve deep into most directors filmography from the 60s/70s/80s and you'll find plenty missing. Ken Russell, Robert Altman, etc

that's all that matters. it's important to enjoy the process of making things.
