Re: Restore Previous Music Database

2024-01-09 Thread 'Sabahattin Gucukoglu' via MacVisionaries 
The database is a single bundle. Just find the one with the newest timestamp in 
the name, copy it in position in your Music folder, then hold Option down as 
you launch Music from the dock (that is, press Option-Enter with Music 
selected) and choose the file you just copied. This should update the system's 
understanding of your library's contents. If you are asked to restart you may 
have to disconnect all iOS devices and turn off Home Sharing first, because 
those components use the same database and won't know you've replaced it until 
you explicitly selected it. This is one of the more regretable changes that 
have occurred due to the iTunes split.

Good luck.

Re: Thinking of Switching to Windows

2024-01-09 Thread 'Sabahattin Gucukoglu' via MacVisionaries 
For myself, macOS means lots of different things to me, when it isn't broken, 
but especially Spatterlight, for text adventures AKA Interactive Fiction, and a 
UNIX environment underneath. Of course nothing says I won't ever go back to 
Windoze, but I think Marc has it right—use both platforms to get the best. It 
shouldn't be necessary, and I appreciate that in an age of Apple Silicon it's 
often an impossible choice to make, but if you can, maintain access to both. 
Windows is many things but it certainly isn't a dreamland, either.

Re: Shutting off series annoying back to back request feature

2024-01-09 Thread 'Sabahattin Gucukoglu' via MacVisionaries 
But the problem of back-to-back requests isn't really that Siri doesn't go 
away. It's that having made your request, you can't really review the output 
because while Siri is listening VoiceOver refuses to talk. And if you dismiss 
Siri by asking it to sod off—an absurd requirement, in any event—then it will 
take your results with it as it goes.

So thanks but no thanks Apple for an incredibly stupid feature that can only 
really be of any benefit if you are doing the simplest possible things given 
the dysfunction of Siri generally and its extremely limited capacity for 
understanding requests in particular. That always-on misfeature and changing 
the default trigger to "Siri" instead of "Hey Siri" really do speak to an 
unbelievable hubris on the part of some manager somewhere. G.

I love Rogue Amoeba’s Mac audio utilities, but in the Apple silicon era, installing them has been pretty rough, due to Apple requiring multiple reboots and a visit to Recovery Mode to perform a dubious-sounding reduction to a Mac’s “security policy.”There is apparently great news on this front, however! Tucked into an otherwise perfectly nice summation of Rogue Amoeba’s year, CEO Paul Kafasis wrote:We’ll soon be shipping updates that simplify things immensely. In fact, Airfoil, Audio Hijack, and Piezo will feature an installer-free setup that won’t even need your administrator password. Meanwhile, Loopback and SoundSource will use a new audio capture plugin called ARK that won’t require a single system restart. It’s going to be an incredible improvement to our user experience.As someone who has had to reinstall Audio Hijack, Loopback, and SoundSource multiple times in the last few months… this is pretty fantastic news. (How in the world will Audio Hijack not even require an administrator password?! )This has been a real pain point for more than three years, so kudos to everyone (presumably both inside Apple and at Rogue Amoeba) who worked on the problem and found a solution that lets some of macOS’s most clever and useful utilities run without these issues.—Linked by Jason Snell
