Lol, they did break a lot of backwards compatibility going from 5.6 to 7. That’s why years later you still had people holding out on the migration because it was such a huge change.

Removed by mod

It was in beta for a while apparently

“One does not simply crack the egg” - Boromir

That feature didn’t exist when I started and I haven’t bothered to change it yet. Since this also needs support on all clients, it’s somewhat less portable than my solution.

Edit: Reason 2 I’m not sure how different clients handle the dynamic adjustments

I just started properly tagging new music at some point and now my library is largely tagged correctly.

For tagging I use kid3, great KDE application for that.

I also sort my music into a folder layout like this to know where I got it from and potentially upgrade the quality.

MusicRaw
  - Artist1
    - Bandcamp
      - Album1
    - Tidal
      - Album2
      - Album3
    - Youtube
      - ytrip album
  - Artist2
    - Album1 (not moved to a separate source)
    - Tidal
      - Album2
      - Album3
    - ytrip album

I then have a script to loudness-normalize (come fight me) all music and write it to another subfolder.
A second script takes those normalized files and symlinks them into a structure like this:

Music
  - Artist1
      - Album1
      - Album2
      - Album3
      - ytrip album
  - Artist2
      - Album1
      - Album2
      - ytrip album

I tried switching to Picard, but for somewhat obvious reasons it doesn’t support my insane structure.

There’s apparently work going on to have on the fly translations between SHA-1 and SHA-256 as necessary

So instead of 1$ return for 3$ spent it’s now 4$ or 5$ spent.

For anyone who hasn’t yet, do make sure to go through the default conversion settings in Calibre and turn off all the resizing. Title image resizing is a separate option turn that off as well.
If you use Koreader or modern enough devices it’s probably fine to default to epub3 instead of epub2 as well.
