Hi. For most of my life I've primarily listened to pop/rock/metal/jazz where metadata fields are easy to delineate. Album artist is what it is, artist is the album artist (plus features), album name, song name and release year are what they are. I've recently begun getting into electronic and DJ music and things seem to be a LOT less cut and dry. A lot of music isn't released as an album. Its a single or a remix or a part of a live set or any number of ways a song can make it into the wild that isn't "on an album".

Artist credit also seems very fuzzy to me. The artist imo should be who composed the music but a lot of times I see the artist is the DJ who mixed the set who may or may not have composed any number of tracks within the set. So like a philosophical difference between composer vs performer. It seems a lot harder to keep metadata straight. Like, is it ideal to use Various Artists as the album artist for these mixes or the DJ that did the set? If VA, how does the DJ get credited? Should I put the artist that composed the music in the composer field and the DJ in the artist field? Help me make it make sense.

Also, finding new music to add to my collection is kinda difficult too because of how electronic music is disseminated. After researching Ishkur's guide, I really like 90s atmospheric jungle and 2000s progressive breaks. How do I even go about looking for music to buy in those genres? With guitar music I just go to Bandcamp and buy the album in flac. Is there a Bandcamp equivalent for electronic music where I can buy current and back catalog music in lossless format and directly support the artists?

I'm sure I'm overthinking a lot of this and that there are ways as yet unknown to me of existing as an electronic music fan who is staunchly opposed to streaming and wants to buy files for a local collection but I'm kinda struggling to find my footing.

Thanks for any advice you can give.

I created a task to send an intent to an app and that works. I tested it and it does what it's supposed to. Then I created a time profile and set the to and from times both to 4:30am and linked it to my task and enabled the profile and its not running. I checked the run log and it doesn't run. I have all the battery optimizations turned off. I just want to send an intent to this app every day at 4:30am. Is there a better way to do it? Thanks.

I was watching a episode last night where he was running a business photographing beautiful women and he referred to them as "photogenic voluptuaries" and I died laughing.

when you are making tiny steering adjustments in RR2 it looks like the camera is moving slightly from to one side or the other before your car starts to turn. Is that normal? Is there any way to fix that because it feels off somehow or like there is some latency in controlling the car. Thanks.

Hi. I am wanting to find map packs (ideally not slaughter, more accessible than that) that have a futuristic tech base vibe to them that calls up the arena death match games of the late 90s.

Some examples of what I'm looking for visually that REALLY caught my eye are:

• Dead Tech
• Break//Point//

Any suggestions you have are greatly appreciated.

Edit: some more maps I found that fit what I'm looking for are:

• Sapphire Orbital Research
• Dysphoria along with some of his other maps listed in that post
