Oh dear. I’ve accidentally spent the last two nights searching for a new stereo amplifier. 📻

I used soundiiz.com for the first time today, to import a playlist from Spotify to Qobuz. It worked beautifully and is a really impressive tool.

Still poking around last.fm and is it my imagination or is there no link to the actual user profile to be found anywhere? I’m sort of boggled. I can get to my profile because I happen to have it in browser history; but where is the link to it?

I’m currently exploring the time capsule that is last.fm – both the site/service as well as my listening history captured there. Using Roon & Qobuz means I’m sending tracks there again after a few years’ gap, and the lens it provides on my internet and social networks circa 2005 and on is really something. Really, the whole site shouldn’t exist anymore, it’s such a weird anachronism.

🎧 Well. I went out to the bookstore yesterday and came home with a NUC to put Roon on. I really would prefer something truly silent, and this one makes some fan noise. On the other hand, impulse buy. Time will tell whether this is actually a good idea.

🎧 Oh dear. Between trying out Roon and Qobuz I’m way down deep in the audio rabbit hole right now. I spent a chunk of yesterday reading about DACs, NUCs, and Roon configs, and today I ran across a guy comparing a set of $270,000 speakers to a set of $260,000 speakers. boggled
