Looks gorgeous. Unfortunate that Subsonic is under “likely impossible” features, but I will try this on my home PC at least.
I want to like Strawberry as a way to connect to Subsonic server on Linux, but it’s just so clunky. I hate list view, as well as the theme…
Say “MacOS-esque” three times really fast.
I agree that publishers are the proverbial landlords of the academic environment. It’s always been absurd to me that scientists pay to publish in journals, and readers pay to access them… 😵💫
However, (maybe independently of the above) I think there needs be an interpretation layer between some scientific article and the broader public (not popular science articles). Too many times I’ve seen direct quotes from scientific papers, which are understood within their niche/expert communities, get taken completely out of context or just simply misunderstood. This is completely normal; not even scientists understand the language of other fields in science.
There’s been a recent increase in some scientists creating Youtube videos to accompany published works, where they simply talk through their results in everyday language. This is probably in the right direction and helps bring real science to the public in a digestable but unbiased way (then the journal article serves as verification of their claims in the video).
(Not OP but) it can be used to actually download the music itself via torrents, but can also just ingest your existing library and automatically (re-)tag everything as it’s added.
