Streamline Your Digital Content: The Power and Efficiency of Digital Asset Management (DAM) Systems
In today’s digital age, organizations are inundated with vast amounts of digital content, ranging from text documents and photos to audio files, videos, and more. Managing this content effectively is crucial for maintaining efficiency and productivity. Enter Digital Asset Management (DAM) systems—a revolutionary technology designed to store, organize, and retrieve digital content…
.mp3 is very small, but uses lossy compression which means it's lower quality
.flac is smaller than .wav, but uses lossless compression so it's high quality
.m4a is an audio file format that apple uses. that's all i really know
downloading the music
doubledouble.top is a life saver. you can download from a variety of services including but not limited to apple music, spotify, soundcloud, tidal, deezer, etc.
i'd recommend ripping your music from tidal or apple music since they're the best quality (i think apple music gives you lossless audio anyway. .m4a can be both lossy and lossless, but from the text on doubledouble i assume they're ripping HQ files off apple music)
i also love love love cobalt.tools for ripping audio/video from youtube (they support a lot of other platforms too!)
of course, many artists have their music on bandcamp — purchase or download directly from them if you can. bandcamp offers a variety of file formats for download
file conversion
if you're downloading from apple music with doubledouble, it spits out an .m4a file.
.m4a is ok for some people but if you prefer .flac, you may wanna convert it. ffmpeg is a CLI (terminal) tool to help with media conversion
if you're on linux or macOS, you can use parameter expansion to batch convert all files in a folder. put the files in one place first, then with your terminal, cd into the directory and run:
for i in *.m4a; do ffmpeg -i "$i" "${i%.*}.flac"; done
this converts from .m4a to .flac — change the file extensions if needed.
soulseek
another way to get music is through soulseek. soulseek is a peer-to-peer file sharing network which is mainly used for music. nicotine+ is a pretty intuitive (and open-source) client if you don't like the official one.
you can probably find a better tutorial on soulseek somewhere else. just wanted to make this option known
it's bad etiquette to download from people without sharing files of your own, so make sure you've got something shared. also try to avoid queuing up more than 1-2 albums from one person in a row
tagging & organizing your music
tagging: adding metadata to a music file (eg. song name, artist name, album) that music players can recognize and display
if you've ripped music from a streaming platform, chances are it's already tagged. i've gotten files with slightly incorrect tags from doubledouble though, so if you care about that then you might wanna look into it
i use musicbrainz picard for my tagging. they've got pretty extensive documentation, which will probably be more useful than me
basically, you can look up album data from an online database into the program, and then match each track with its file. the program will tag each file correctly for you (there's also options for renaming the file according to a certain structure if you're into that!)
there's also beets, which is a CLI tool for... a lot of music collection management stuff. i haven't really used it myself, but if you feel up to it then they've got extensive documentation too. for most people, though, it's not really a necessity
how you wanna organize your music is completely up to you. my preferred filestructure is:
artist > album > track # track
using a music player
the options for this are pretty expansive. commonly used players i see include VLC, foobar2000, clementine (or a fork of it called strawberry), and cmus (for the terminal)
you can also totally use iTunes or something. i don't know what audio players other systems come with
i personally use dopamine. it's a little bit slow, but it's got a nice UI and is themeable plus has last.fm support (!!!)
don't let the github page fool you, you don't have to build from source. you can find the releases here
click the "assets" dropdown on the most recent release, and download whichever one is compatible with your OS
syncing
if you're fine with your files just being on one device (perhaps your computer, but perhaps also an USB drive or an mp3 player), you don't have to do this
you can sync with something like google drive, but i hate google more than i hate spotify
you can get a free nextcloud account from one of their providers with 2GB of free storage. you can use webDAV to access your files from an app on your phone or other device (documents by readdle has webDAV support, which is what i use)
disroot and blahaj.land are a couple providers i know that offer other services as well as nextcloud (so you get more with your account), but accounts are manually approved. do give them a look though!!
if you're tech-savvy and have an unused machine lying around, look into self-hosting your own nextcloud, or better yet, your own media server. i've heard that navidrome is a pretty good audio server. i unfortunately don't have experience with self-hosting at the moment so i have like zero advice to give here. yunohost seems to be a really easy way to manage a server
afterword
i don't know if any of this is helpful, but i just wanted to consolidate my personal advice in one place. fuck big tech. own your media, they could take it away from you at any moment
What Has Happened To The Best Video Production Media Management Solution, Kyno? Has It Been Killed Off?
What Has Happened To The Best Video Production Media Management Solution, Kyno? Has It Been Killed Off?
For the last few days we’ve been researching for an article we’re writing on the late, great Australian cinematographer of British, European and American feature films, Robert Krasker.
We’re at the stage where we need to assemble a decent collection of stills, that is screen grabs, from our collection of his movies in order to illustrate this article and future articles, and most of all to…
An adorable gacha game filled with hundreds of cookie characters to collect, and a complex story. Not that the inhabitants know of it, they're quite unaware of their digital nature.
The five Virtues, the souljams. Core systems of the software keep it running and functional, each with its own [AWARE_PROGRAM] to oversee the duty.
Silent Salt: The Debugger, in charge of fixing errors in code and erasing any that is deemed unnecessary.
Eternal Sugar: The Task Manager, opening and closing programs that are needed for the developers or to help them work easier.
Burning Spice: The Firewall, keeping away viruses and hackers as well as occasionally messing with combining forces with
Silent Salt. Mystic Flour: The Control System, relegating tasks to the other four when required and keeping everyone in check.
Shadow Milk: The Record Keeper, in charge of keeping an archive of every edition of the code, every past, present, and future change to the entirety of the game as well as the plans the developers have in store. He is also in charge of assisting developers add code to help, if necessary.
So when the [AWARE_PROGRAM]s begin to malfunction, and begin to corrupt, the developers witches decide to do what they must. They take away the Core SystemsSouljams from the [AWARE_PROGRAM]Beasts, and seal them away in the Silver Tree, creating a guardian to keep them locked away.
The Souljams are edited to function systematically, without the need of anyone leading it, and given to those unaware of its true purpose yet still worthy of holding the power.
And then The Record Keeper wakes up, confused. Why had he been locked up? Why had they all been locked away? Had they not just been doing what they had been told to do?...who is this [ASSET] who now holds his Core System?
Pure Vanilla Cookie is very confused on the floating cookie that appeared one day and now refuses to leave him alone. Meanwhile, Elder Faerie feels something is off about the Silver Tree, but isn't quite too sure what.
or:
Pure Vanilla teaches AI Shadow Milk how to be a cookie, while AI Shadow Milk ponders if he should explain the reality of their existence to Pure Vanilla.
