I usually keep a page with an updated list of all the songs in my library in this link. Two good list generators are Oidua and Dnuos. I prefer the layout of Dnuos, so that’s the one I’ll talk about here.

Today I opened an online radio via flash and the sound was coming out of the speakers of my notebook, when I thought that after configuring ALSA to use Pulseaudio the sound should come out through the TV, connected via HDMI.

I went to watch a movie that I had downloaded on an external hard drive connected to my older notebook. Usually, I connect this hard drive directly to the TV, but this time I couldn’t eject the hard drive because it was being used by other programs.

Sometimes I come across CDs that have been ripped into a single FLAC file. Players like Foobar2000 list the tracks separately from the cue file. However, unfortunately, MPD does not do this and I have to split the file.
