I like to have the same collection on both my phone and tablet. I also have some mp3s on a USB stick, which I can plug into my receiver. However, the reason for this question is the app I have on my tablet that allows me to play mp3s from my collection to the Yamaha receiver. However, it ignores ogg. I could redo all the CDs I have in ogg, but that would be a lot of work,
On the off chance you have a google account...(and don't already know about this) You can sign up for a Google Music. Its free. Put all your ripped (or purchased) music under one folder structure, with what ever sub folders meets your needs Install the Google Music Manager (free) (yes, Linux versions available), install, point it at your Music folder(s). Sit back and watch it upload everything. It supports mp3, aac (two formats), wma, flac,ogg, etc. See: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/1100462?vid=1-63575957747014651... It will convert them all to mp3 (320kbps). These will also be available instantly on your Android device or iPhone with the Google Play Music app. You can also download a complete copy of your music folder (to a new location) with all music converted to mp3 (320kbps). Note about the conversion: Google does not actually store YOUR copy of the tracks. It samples it enough to know _exactly_ what it is, then substitutes a 320kbps rip of its own. Early versions ha problems substituting "radio clean" versions for explicit versions but this problem is solved. If it can't find a match it will store yours. NOTE: All my music that I rip myself, or purchase from other sources (amazon etc) gets downloaded into my Google Music Folder in proper sub-folders. Then Google Music manager automatically uploads it in the background. You can play your music from any browser, or the google play music app on IOS or Android, or Download it to a computer, (or thumb drive). Pretty sure that Apple Music and Amazon provide substantially the same type of service (sans the format conversion). -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
