Beeftweeter posted:opus absolutely should sound better than lame vbr at 128 kbps (cbr or otherwise). check if there's encoding settings huh, I dunno. maybe it tries 128 but drops lower if cell reception is bad (part of my commute is outside of the city). i read somewhere that plex added on-the-fly quality adjusting to prevent stuttering which i thought was just for video, but could be for music too

yeah ironically opus is loving excellent at hiding being low bitrate lol i'm guessing maybe the input mp3 decoder might be lovely in that case? if they use libavcodec for transcoding honestly neither should be bad, but what resampling it uses is up to the developer (same case with mediatoolbox on ios/macos). maybe see if theres any bug reports, i don't use plex

I’m pretty sure that most of the music I have on a disk is 512k or whatever that vbr one was in retrospect I wish I had done flac but even in the codecs I have it’s like 170gb of music, and in 2011 storing that would have cost too much

polyester concept posted:maybe i just have golden ears i mean, it is an actual possibility, lol. opus is still being actively developed too and it's possible there's a bug there also that most people just don't notice (or they know about it and it's just not fixed, etc). but generally opus at 128 kbps could be called "transparent" even if that isn't technically true i would try to see if the same thing happens with a different encoder, you could use ffmpeg to script it on pretty much any platform

I obsessively seek out new music and have an obscene amount of flac files, not because I prefer to listen to lossless, but more so because I started obsessing about not having to transcode when i converted it to mp3 for my portable devices. i started ripping my cd collection in around 2007 or so and continued buying and ripping cds (and then keeping them in a box never to be seen by light again) until around the time covid finally broke the thrift store habit I had. plus a lot of downloads. I have about 1.5 TB of music which is probably nothing compared to some people's movie or tv libraries, but it makes all of the playlist-building AI features of plex really fun and i'm always rediscovering old music in my library. i've had more last.fm scrobbles in 2022 than any year prior, which is kind of crazy. the lulls in my listening habits oddly match up with periods of depression. strange how that works

ffmpeg is pretty helpful with stuff like that but lol, i totally get it. i have a couple tb of movies and stuff i've ripped over the years from physical dvds still laying around in mpeg-2, their original format. most modern devices have hardware that can decode it but they usually don't even bother, it's really not a great format. but h264 wasn't really archival quality either, even if it was maybe 2 gb for something at the same perceived quality vs. 4.7 or 9 for the full thing (or whatever). it just wasn't good enough mp3 is definitely like that but honestly "high bitrate" opus is probably good enough for most people. since it's designed for low bitrates, 128 kbps is actually very high for opus lol

the only time i ever listened to sirius was when i was sitting in my mother in law's (at the time) jeep and scanning through channels, and there was some talk radio show where a girl was asking if it was normal for her boyfriend to enjoy watching her sit on the toilet so he could see the cum drain out of her rear end after anal sex

the other thing is different channels have different bandwidth, so they can cram a lot of 8kbps compressed talk radio into one 128kbit satellite stream but only a few music channels at 48 or 64

i had an xm radio someone didn't want anymore and gave to me for free when i was like 16 and it still had a whole week subscription so i listened to the gay channel a bunch (back when there really wasn't much gay content openly available, especially not in fuckin' florida) and it was pretty okay and kinda affirming  had some good tips for keeping your butt clean for anal sex that were particularly helpful

My only experience with XM or Sirius or whatever was in a rental car in the US. The demo subscription expired in the middle of the trip through like Nevada or something which sucked because I had no aux cable with me.hobbesmaster posted:that looks like it might be intended behavior to simulate a volume plus power knob with a detent?

Who the gently caress is Dave Rubin and why do I assume he is a right-wing bootlicking shitheel based on this thread, but especially by these two sycophantic tweets: https://twitter.com/RubinReport/status/1618676083775406080?s=20 https://twitter.com/RubinReport/status/1618679402325508097?s=20

I think that was the principle network Elonjet was using to get around Elon blocking tracking of his jet on one of the other commercial networks

David Rubin used to be a liberal commentator on The Young Turks but after meeting with some dudes who slid a briefcase of money to him across a table decided that the left was becoming too PC and it was actually the political right who were the tolerant ones. He now works for Glen Beck and licks boots for the GOP. There's a hilarious clip a while back of him talking with Ben Shapiro about how, again, the left are intolerant, and that despite Ben Shapiro being deeply religious he would still come to Rubin's gay wedding, to which Shapiro just straight up goes "no I would not" and Rubin ends up negotiating down to "would you bake me a cake for the anniversary?" and Shapiro is just "no" and the look on his face is priceless as he has to then be like "well the left is still more intolerant" while clearly feeling hurt. Hope the money's worth it Dave.
