Nobody can answer this because it depends entirely on how you set it up. It can be set up either way. Whatever you point your internal endpoint at is what it is.

Wat

I don't remember now. It's been about a year since I did it. I got tired of tracks mysteriously disappearing out of my library or certain versions of a song not being available (licensing issues I assume) ... so now the RIAA gets none of my money instead of some of my money, because they want to be greedy.

I would imagine any of the paid services would work for the most part but I can't say for sure, I'm sorry. The one i used just downloaded everything at once (about 1500 tracks worth I think)

I was in the same boat as you. I searched for months but there is nothing out there that works consistently.

I ended up paying for a service that let me download my entire Spotify library and then cancelled the subscription. I then cancelled Spotify and now get so my music through Lidarr and play it through Plexamp. I'm really happy with this setup for the most part, however....

Be aware that Lidarr only downloads full albums, not individual songs, so that's a drawback.

Also, it's best to have private trackers (usenet AND torrent) to get the best experience out of Lidarr. I had to spend about a month getting invites to several exclusive Torrent and Usenet sites but once I did Lidarr finds most things. I have to get some obscure things by hand still, though, as they aren't in Lidarr.

100% Roku. Best Plex interface.

Android Plex interface sucks, and don't even get started on the abortion that the IOS Plex interface is.

This is the way

Holy fuck! Are you twelve? Did Mommy tell you get off the Internet again?

Lol. Truth hurts, I know!

Where did I say anyone was forcing anyone else to use Mastodon (or Twitter et al?)

I don't use Mastodon or Twitter, never have... because it's a platform for people with low attention spans and lacking anything interesting to say or form a complex cogent though and discourages intelligent interaction in favor of quick quips and toxic behavior. Mastodon/Twitter is a cancer on the Internet, end of story.

Pages represent web pages, whereas notes represent “a short written work typically less than a single paragraph in length”. In my opinion, using Page was a mistake on Lemmy’s end. Just like Lemmy won’t support Place objects, I’m not sure if any other platform will ever support Page objects, because Pages are much bigger in scope than anything most Fediverse applications ever deal with.

Using note was the mistake. Limiting communication to short quips, like Twitter does, is a fucking travesty. The fact that people routinely and often make multiple tweets to extend what they want to say proves this point. Twitter/X was the worst thing to happen to communication in the internet age by further reducing the attention span and ability of people to concentrate on longer bodies of writing, thereby making people even dumber.

Twitter/Mastodon should not even be a thing, honestly. They are dumb methods of communication for dumb people. You can always post something shorter in a long form system, but you can't post something longer in a short form system, without making multiple posts. It's fucking stupid and always has been. The primary reason for the short form, originally 140 char, was because you could text it in one message. This made a bit of sense... just a tiny bit, as it opened up communication where there previously wasn't any. But as we moved away from that paradigm of 140 char text messages, the idea of a Twitter became more and more stupid, where today, we have Twitter/Mastodon as the bastion of the idiot regime who can't think past 280 characters.
