It’d also be good if I could at least add some notes about food, sleep and activity so I can see how those correlate. I just don’t think I’m ever going to see a pain clinic again so I’m trying to be more active in managing it myself. If you’re looking to just track things, I might recommend some sort of custom creation via Notion. It’s pretty flexible and not too tough to set up. It’s better than a spreadsheet. Might also recommend Curable, which isn’t for tracking pain but rather a pain management-type app that takes a mindfulness-centered approach. A lot of it is subscription-walled but it might be worth checking out.

So far I have to say that Apple Music Classical is exceeding expectations. The library is phenomenal. I've only found a couple of really, really obscure things that it doesn't have. There are also some tagging bugs here and there (why is Debussy written in Japanese? why is the performer of this Satie work tagged instead of the composer? etc.) but nothing gamebreaking enough to stop you from finding what you're looking for. The next question is under what circumstances it will actually put out lossless, since Apple Music transcodes lossless to AAC 256 with many Airplay 2 receivers even though the spec supports lossless and even though the app will say it's doing lossless. Will the Classical version also do this extremely aggravating behavior?

Why is there a standalone app just for classical music?

Boris Galerkin posted:Why is there a standalone app just for classical music? https://www.macrumors.com/2023/03/27/why-apple-music-classical-launched/ Classical music often involves multiple musicians recording works that have been recorded many times before and are referred to by different names. For example, from the formal Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 14 to the popular byname of Moonlight Sonata, or in multiple languages, such as Mondschein Sonata in German. Such complexities mean that classical music fans have been ill-served by streaming platforms. Until now. A distinct app, included with an Apple Music subscription, gives these classical music lovers the editorial and catalog content they've been missing. Only a brand-new app — with specialized features and a beautiful interface designed for the genre — could remove the complexity and make classical music easily searchable, browsable, and accessible for beginners and experts alike.

it's because most music apps are based on albums and classical is poorly suited to that because its not really an album based genre you see this also with stuff like early electronic/dance where a ton of really important guys have the bulk of their notable output as singles which most apps also handle poorly but I think people into that stuff just pirate everything anyway Feels Villeneuve fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Mar 28, 2023 |

anyway just from looking at a friend's experience with it, the biggest issue i noted (and one that existed in primephonic) is that you can't search by record label. that's a really important field to have if you're looking for a particular recording

Basically classical music requires that the metadata be sliced and diced differently from normal music.

the app comes from when Apple purchased Primephonic who apparently did an absolute ton of work manually editing metadata but yeah it's just not an album-based format, and you run into weird problems when it gets treated as one by apps/databases. some of the most deranged arguments i've seen involve classical records on Discogs because a) many of the records have no obvious title, and b) some people were incredibly against the idea that the composer should be credited as a "main artist" on a record

All this talk about classical music nudges me to ask a semi related question. Is it possible to search other people’s playlists somewhere? I’ve been wanting to find music with a strong orchestral background that isn’t classical, e.g. lots of movie soundtracks or albums like Metallica’s S&M concerts… it’s not a specific genre and searching for “orchestral” just returns artists with that in their name. I’m sure someone else has already compiled a playlist like this already so wondering if there’s a place that these things can be shared and searched publicly.

I'm sure you've seen this, but Apple Music can do this. Type "orchestral" into the Search tab and hit the Search button. After hitting the search button filters will display at the top, and one of the options is "Playlists". Tap that. The first 50 or so results is Apple Music generated playlists and then everything below that is user playlists. You can tell because it has usernames like "@cjay87 (Andrew Llanos)" as the playlist author. The more words you add to the query (ie, "orchestral metal") the more varied the user playlists. It's not super extensive but it's a starting point. One of the selling points of Apple Music originally was supposed to be the amazing human curation. "We have a specialist in rockabilly metal curating weekly playlists!" They must have fired all of those people and be using crappy Siri AI because I'm not super thrilled with their playlists generally. But I might just be overly picky in what I want to listen to sometimes.

Looks like Safari 16.4 added some highly demanded features, including the ability for a web app to display badges. As somebody who self hosts a lot services, this will be great if/when webapps roll out support. A service like Alerty has already rolled out support for it.

Deleted Twitter off my phone today - the iOS app is responsible for about a third of my battery usage on my 13 mini, and for a device where battery is at a premium that seems like too much. I get that I probably use Twitter more than other apps, but has anyone else found Twitter more aggressive with battery post-musk? Are there better behaved third party apps? Ultimately me not having Twitter on my phone is a good thing so I won’t lose any sleep on it if not. I mean I I’ll probably gain sleep in the literal sense.

I definitely recommend it. You can search for specific compositions, and it’ll show you a list of different performers/performances of that piece, including an “Editor’s Pick.” Great way to discover reinterpretations of your favorites!

They have some nice playlists in there - I took up Apple “subscribe and get two months free Music and Classical Music”. Not sure if that’s a standard offer or because I haven’t subbed Apple Music previously.

More of a generic iOS question but how do I set up my reminders app to buzz on my phone and MacBook but NOT my iPad which we generally leave at home and my wife is getting sick of hearing it buzz all the time? I’ve tried fiddling with iCloud but it feels like either all devices or none get them?

You can disable notifications for Reminders on your iPad. It’s the only way iirc. Settings > Notifications > Reminders If you just want to turn off vibrate you can turn it off by tapping on Sounds (or just turn off Sounds) altogether. The 3 alert types should be self explanatory.

Oh. I’m okay with that too actually. I try to maintain reasonable responsiveness expectations amongst my contacts, I can’t be constantly accessible via notification. I’ll carry a separate phone entirely when some bullshit job has those expectations.
