From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

App for downsizing MP3s automatically when copying to a phone? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm ditching streaming services and just going with local music. However all my CDs are converted to either flac or 320kbps mp3 files on my PC and thus far too large for the limited storage I have on my phone.

I was hoping there might be an app that would automatically downconvert to something like 128kbps and then copy over to the Music directory on my phone. A bit like how Calibre can automatically convert eBook files (e.g. mobi to epub) and then send them to your ereader?

Tempo is a good open-source player for Android that works well with Navidrome.

On iOS, Arpeggi is good, but not open source (I think). It's still under development, but I don't think it's missing any major features at this point.

Tempo is not maintained anymore.

That’s a shame. Has the developer stated this, or is it just based on the lack of activity?

There seems to be a fork planning to continue the work. It was updated only a few hours ago.

Yes, I have tried that app. It's buggy, I'm the only one who made bug reports there yet.
