TL;DR: Recently found my wife's old iPod from high school and wanted to bask in the nostalgia. However, some of the songs are old DRM protected files from accounts that no longer exist or we don't have access to; so, we can't play them at all. What are our realistic options?
When I drag and drop my music onto the NAS and open it in the music app, some of the tracks (usually the ones from iTunes) will be display the file name rather than the metadata.
The artist and album are usually fine, but the name of the song will start with the track number and have underscores instead of spaces.
Ex) "07 Bam (feat. Damian _Jr. Gong_ Marl" instead of "Bam (feat. Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley)"
I have used MusicBrainz Picard to set metadata, but the problem tracks show issues. I can edit them all manually in the music app, but that is A LOT of work. is there a way to fix this?
According to Handbrake's updated documentation, they recommend that there is no need to set CRF to anything lower that 19 when using x264/x265. I wonder what all your thought were on the matter, considering I have seen folks swear that CRF16 is the lowest they'll go.
