@admin @Jdogg247 Oh yeah man, they played that well through the decade. Especially on MTV, like they did a "top blah blah video countdown" every other day and it was always blind mellon bee girl and smells like teen spirit.

@dj @admin @Jdogg247 Man, everyone had that cd back in the day.
Like you go over to someone's house and look at their collection I guarantee they owned it.

You can yt-dlp a playlist, set format etc. Youtube music albums are just playlists.
You can then tag them with MusicBrainz Picard.

@Humpleupagus @Jdogg247 @admin @dj im gonna get an sdd adapter for a pi that I've been using as a media box.
It's great, you just stick it into your tv and all your stuff right there waiting for you to watch.

@Humpleupagus @admin @Jdogg247 @dj Yeah I've 100 used it to get playlists and such.
I still buy things from bandcamp from time to time but in this world of streaming and such, i like having possession of the actual file as opposed to renting it. Same with movies, streaming films has gotten so garbage.

It can also run Ganecube, PS2, and Xbox. Plus it has a full desktop (plasma), so my kids can use Freetube, Kodi, etc.

Yeah. Optiplex micros are pretty small, so it's not noticeable. I have it hard wired to my network, so I can WoL it, and it WoLs the TV on boot. The TV is hooked to the stereo. I use KDE Connect and Yatse to control it from my phone.

@Humpleupagus @admin @Jdogg247 @dj nice, yeah pi can run ps1 roms and similar but nothing more hardcore. I wish it did, I have a ton of old ps2 games.
Do you have it in the living room with stereo and all that?

The only issues are that it doesn't have hdmi-cec for controlling the TV, and the Bluetooth dongle has to be put on an extension to get it away to the box. I've found that a lot of sbcs that don't have Bluetooth have the same issue re bluetooth dongles.

@Humpleupagus @admin @Jdogg247 @dj Thats cool man.
I have a tiny ass east coast apartment so I'm kind of limited as to what I can set up. My tv takes up like half the whole joint.

@Humpleupagus @admin @Jdogg247 @dj Well I mean in terms of speakers and all that.

I have giant vintage fisher speakers from the 70s. I got them from my dad. He has a matching set. He bought them when quad-stereo was all the rage.

It's amazing how hard it is to find decent stereo equipment these days. No one really makes an affordable eq anymore. I bought a bunch of behringer miniFBQs before they stopped making them for my other rooms (standard digital eqs sound like shit). And most consumer speakers suck too. I use old studio monitors in two of my rooms because of this (monitors have built in amps, so no need for a reciever).

@dj @admin @Humpleupagus @Jdogg247 Yeah I just have one of those easy to assemble one's to hold the tv and the playstation.
I'd go all out if I could but between the space and then my whiny neighbors I gotd
to be somewhat conservative.

I noticed the entertainment stand with a receiver and surround sound speakers isn't as populate anymore. Every young guy used to have that kind of setup. I have a pc in one next to the tv and its sound comes from speakers for gaming. You can even do sound bar if you don't have a lot of space.
