Tot i que actualment s'acostuma a anomenar el sistema operatiu amb el nom genèric de Mac OS no es va començar a utilitzar aquest nom fins a la versió 7.6 cap als anys 90 (antigament s'anomenava Sistema x.x). L'equip del Macintosh estava format principalment per Bill Atkinson, i. Aquesta primera va sortir amb el l'any 1984. El Mac OS va ser el primer sistema operatiu comercial que incloïa interfície gràfica d'usuari. Destaca per la seva estabilitat, i facilitat d'ús. El Mac OS (Macintosh Operating System) és un sistema operatiu creat per Apple Computer ('ordinador poma' en anglès) per a ordinadors Apple Macintosh.The standard tool for media processing is ffmpeg. Clean up any stray data in the file system.Refile and re-name in a most-os-friendly way.Apply a standard replace function to clean text of weird characters.Assign Genre, Artist, Year, Album, Disk Number, Track, Title, & Cover.Add BPM tags with bpm-tag from bpm-tools.Add Replay Gain tags with loudness-scanner.Fix MP3 meta info wierdsies with MP3 Diags.Convert FLAC/high-data rate mp3s to VBR (about 190 kbps) with ffmpeg.So to scratch that itch, I use the following steps: I like metadata and the flexibility in organization it provides, and like it standardized.

I’m not sure I could ever reliably have heard the difference between 320 CBR and 190 VBR, but I definitely can’t now and less data is less data. mp3 is pretty clearly inferior to aac for coding efficiency (aac produces better sound with less bits) and aac has some cool features that mp3 doesn’t but for my use compatibility wins. I prefer mp3 to aac or flac because the format is widely compatible.The steps outlined here are tuned to my particular use case: I spent some time poking around to find a set of tools that satisfied my preferences for organization and structure and filled in a missing gap or two this is what I’m doing these days and what with.

Over the decades, I’ve converted various eras of my physical media to digital formats using different standards that were in vogue at the time and with different emphasis on various metadata tags yielding a rather heterogeneous collection with some annoying incompatibilities that sometimes show up, for example using the Music plugin with NextCloud streaming via Subsonic to Sublime Music or Ultrasonic on Android. I prefer local control of media data, the rent-to-listen approach of various streaming services is certainly convenient, but pay-forever, you get what we think you should models don’t appeal to me.
