iTunes hates me. I think the feeling is mutual.

    Good advice, Doofy, it reminds me that I need to do that again, as I haven't since January

    I've become a big fan of Backblaze!


  • DoofyDoofy
    @rostasi Me too, and I thought I was covered. But if the drive fails, Backblaze figures it's not there anymore, therefore the backup shouldn't exist !
  • rostasirostasi
    I have settings that notify me when it attempts to backup a drive and it’s no longer there.
  • DoofyDoofy
    I'll look into that. I even knew the drive was wonky, but never occurred to me that Windows wasn't reading it, since iTunes was finding/playing the music. Nobody's fault but mine...

    So I save all my iTunes music up to iCloud plus have hard drive back-up. Is that enough or should I do more?
  • rostasirostasi
    Usually, that's enough, but it's recommended to have another physical backup somewhere outside your home in case you lose one in a fire or theft. It really depends on what you're saving and how precious the contents are (wedding or baby pix, for instance - even if your music is your "baby").

    This YouTuber Turns Old iPod Into Retro Spotify Player




  • rostasirostasi
    Interesting idea, but I’m unsure why bother when you can already use an iPod to play Spotify.
    I currently have nearly 9000 Spotify tunes on it now that have the extra ability to crossfade segue
    the tunes and have good sound as well. Seems like a lot of tinkering to get to moderate enjoyment.

    Yes, I think this is definitely a "Because it's there" kind of project

    Does anyone know how to sync 2 I Tunes libaries, 1 is on my mach the other on a PC, it becoming a pain with my music library on Sonos? Any help much appreciated

    Hi - So last week I wrecked my car (first over accident in over 55 years - no one was hurt!).  It was the one place I could easily listen to all the CDs my wife hates.  My new car, of course, has no CD and features Apple Music.  I have used iTunes for years to manage my music, make playlists, burn CDs, etc.  I don't tend to download music to my iPhone.

    Is there a way to link Apple Music to my home iTunes library?  What have other folks done to make it easy to use playlist, etc. in your mobile listening studio????  I pick up my new (used) car tomorrow.  Thanks for any suggestions.

    Cheers.

    I plug my phone into the USB port, and my "radio" lets me choose the phone as an input. Then I listen to whatever I want using Apple Music (or Marvis, which I prefer). 

    I download music since I do not want to use data to stream. Downloading music to the phone is also necessary for airplanes.

    I upload all my music, from whatever source (vinyl, CDs, iTunes, Apple Music, eMusic et al), to the cloud. I then use wifi to access it on my iPhone, iPad and Apple Music for my iMac desktop. I use Bluetooth to connect in to cars, earphones, hearing aids (!!) etc.

    As @Plong42 says, I download my favourites to my iPhone and IPad for when I’m flying or out of wifi range.

    Thanks - these are great places to start.  Cheers
