Qobuz has a streaming plan, and you can buy and download drm-free music. It’s a good option if you want to just stream (the app has added some nice improvements lately). Even better if you’re also looking to build your collection and looking to go the whole non-streaming route.

Purchases tend to be pricey, and there’s a slightly more expensive plan with a discount on drm-free that might make sense, depending on how often you plan to make purchases.

Edit: this currently doesn’t fall into the < $10 category but is comparable to the old Apple Music price.

I have an Nvidia Shield stick that’s android based and one day Google started pushing live Taco Bell ads to it on the ambient Home Screen. That was the last day pi-hole ever let it phone home.

For nearly 600,000 Americans who trusted a brand built on the Trump name, the gold phone has become the latest entry in a long record of ventures that took their money and delivered nothing.

They wanted a Trump experience and they got one. Could argue they got what they paid for.

These are the same people projecting that respect for others living their own lives was shoving DEI down their throats.

I really expected to see him come back with a “See what you made me do?” to stay true to form. Bombs aren’t diplomats.

I have to keep reminding myself the athletes are representing the athletes of the US and deserve no disrespect for celebrating as athletes. It’s hard to separate those “USA” chants from the meaning it’s been twisted into today, but can’t really hold them all responsible for Patel crashing their party.

Thank you. 😖

“…highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters.” — whaaaaaat??? 🤡

I didn’t really have a need for Audiobookshelf until I discovered libro.fm where I found you can get drm-free audiobooks. After I discovered a need, I found the Plappa app on iOS is actually a pretty nice player to connect to audiobookshelf. I still need to use the web app to manage the library. But Plappa provides the listening part, and it also does CarPlay (which is my main requirement for media).

Audiobookshelf also has a podcast feature you can use as a podcast fetcher - and then play them through Plappa.

For audio media I use Jellyfin and the Manet iOS app (the only CarPlay media player I could find). It keeps things in separate apps, but that’s what’s working for me.
