Is anyone here proficient in apps n stuff that has ideas how I can listen to my music collection better?
I have it all saved onto a LAN, now. And I wish I could make party mixes & such.
At one point we had it pointed to my iTunes app on the desktop and I had playlists that I liked and I would hard-wire sync to my phone. And I’d play them in the house on the desktop speakers, and when synching I’d load various playlists and then switch them out. The phone was never able to hold the entire collection.
But I’m the only apple user in the house, and over time my phone was no longer being synched with the desktop, so it sort of “broke.” It was at that time hubbin got some other hard drive, loaded all 400+ CDs onto it, and linked it (through LAN? I think?) such that our receiver could see it. Which made the desk-top iTunes break because it has some weird insistence that the files exist nin one of its own directories and therefore copies all the CDs.
The new LAN/Receiver interface is clunky and only lets me play albums, not party mixes. So it’s almost like going back to the ‘10s when we listened via a 400-CD physical juke-box hooked up to the living room sound system, with a paper booklet printing out the CD names and their jukebox slots.
I am not fluent in this stuff, and I’m frustrated that I can’t operate it like I used to operate iTunes from the desktop or on my phone back when I hard-wire synched.
Anyone with the savvy to help me?
