If each frame in the media contains the exact 1920 × 1080 pixels ...

This image has the same number of pixels on the top and bottom half, but you can probably see the bottom half looks worse. That's what lower bitrate does. It's like turning up the compression on a jpg -- you are not getting the exact same pixels, just the exact same image size.

I'm a resident of the retirement home, but this is still funny.

You can keep tagging files ~forever and still not have them perfect… I just stop after when I think it’s good enough and I might start tagging them again at another time.

QFT!!

My current genre process is more hands-on but it's working for me. When I grab something, usually a complete discography, I look up the artist on Discogs, and use their genre pick. Sometimes I will put in specific genres for specific albums but usually, one genre for the whole discography is good enough.

Normally I can tolerate the Discogs genre picks, and this gives me a pretty consistent and bounded list of genres used in my library.

But like you said, it can never be perfect. Organizing my library can be kind of soothing though, like playing solitaire.

Great guide, thanks for sharing.

I would like to add that for people who may be intimidated by the tagging section, the tags that Deemix gives you are usually pretty decent to start with. You can clean them up to match your preferred format with a couple of quick mp3tag shortcuts. The hardest part is rectifying genres, which it looks like a lot of your automation is designed to do.

mp3tag is an amazing tool and anyone with a big music collection would be well served to study it!

That would make sense, though it is surprising how my old phone still gets some of the new stuff.

100% Usenet here. Maybe I am basic, but it has everything I want and grabbing stuff is very easy.

Once in a great while I cannot find something and then I ask a friend to check his private trackers.

YMMV

There must be more to it than being a Pixel phone, as I have a Pixel and I do not have those features unlocked. It's an old Pixel, though.

TYVM. I think a big part of my problem is I had been grabbing chords for most things, not tabs... And when I did get tabs I was looking at the Official ones which don't have this download.

Ah hah, now I get it. Thanks!

Don't fucking let anyone tab shame you my friend. Use them if you need them. The important thing is you are playing and learning and having fun. You can always learn new things too when you are ready.

So what you did here was tell a guy who is learning how to play the guitar to "LOL just play it."

I must be a dummy, I cannot find a way to download anything off UG other than PDF. (I do have a premium subscription.)

Can you spell it out for me? Where the heck are the Guitar Pro or PowerTab versions? I just looked around for 5 minutes and could not figure it out.

Edit to add: I saw someone else with the same question and someone posted a pic. I swear to God I have never seen this button in UG!
