The integrated Audio Converter in #NeoFinder 8.9 for #macOS can now be invoked using the powerful #AppleScript automation tools!
You can even set up the conversion parameters per script, as you need them.
That makes it a lot easier to integrate the converter into complex workflows of any kind.

#NeoFinder 8.9 for #macOS is now able to read embedded lyrics of OGG #audio files when cataloging them!
They will be displayed in the Inspector, and of course can be searched.

I saw this LinkedIn post from an #AI bro a little while ago arguing that AI enables creativity like DAWs and other #musictech does. On the surface I think this could come across as a valid argument. However...
Music tech like DAWs enable new workflows and democratize production. AI also creates new workflows. Where the two diverge though is in how AI, particularly #LLMs, are able to pull it off. The training data was sourced from basically all publicly accessible information.
If when you produce a track in a #DAW using copyrighted material inappropriately you can and most likely will face consequences. When you produce #music or #art using an LLM, the source material has been laundered through the LLM so you can produce something derivative theoretically without having to attribute or face any consequences. The inappropriate use is still there but it's been conveniently moved out of view. Then, the public can look at the product and all know it's wrong without having to admit it.

And of course, NeoFinder already also reads MP3, AAC, m4a, AIFF, WAVE, BWF, FLAC, CAF, OGG, AMR and even Sony DSF and SDS files. So you can keep control over your entire #music collection.

Best #Linux distro for music?
I'll give it a go again and see what happens this time. Wasnt convinced 5+years ago it was worth it.
Currently downloading Ubuntu Studio (not expecting much) but what else is there that will run an audio interface, DAWs etc? Anything on Debian or Mint?
I like to use Krita, Inkscape and GIMP too from time to time.
