Re: Syncing Local Music Files to iPhone

[K. Scott Carlson]

I don't want to delete things from my iTunes library; I just want to get them 
off my phone and not have them re-sync automatically. Deleting and then 
re-adding would take just as much time as going through and manually 
un-checking everything I no longer wanted synced.

Re: Syncing Local Music Files to iPhone

[Kelly Pierce]

Please re-read my earlier message. I did not suggest deleting music
from your phone. I suggested deleting music from your library, which
is managed through iTunes on your computer. In iTunes, music can be
sorted by album or artist. Instead of deleting each album separately,
you can delete an entire artist in iTunes. This will vanquish all the
music and albums from that artist. When your phone is synched to your
computer, the music will be gone.

Re: Syncing Local Music Files to iPhone

[Kelly Pierce]

Delete an entire artist from your iTunes library. This will delete all
the albums by that artist from your library.  Yes, you may have to
choose between the discographies of Metallica and Motley Crue, but for
me it is not a hard choice.  Apple’s biggest scam is charging $100 for
the middle tier of memory on its phones. I had a choice of 64 or 128
gigabytes. 64 extra gigs did not cost Apple anything close to $100.
The lowest size phones are a pricing gimmick.

Re: An alternative to Audible for future purchases

[Mary Otten]

Are use Audible in part at least for the reason that Sieghart mentioned, cheap 
credits if you buy them all at once. There is another source for books which 
doesn’t make you have a membership. It is chirp. They offer sales. Their app is 
accessible. You go to their site and sign up and tell them the genres you want. 
And you get a daily email highlighting books that are steeply discounted, kind 
of like the daily deal from Audible. I love the service. No strings and cheap 
books.

Hi Richard. This looks very interesting. I especially love the drm-free policy 
which allows us to play our books on any device we want without having to go 
through annoying conversions. 

Thanks for sharing the info.

sGreetings,

Since Audible has been discussed a lot lately, I wanted to mention an 
alternative resource that I am seriously considering.

It is called Libro.fm.

They seem to have everything Audible has, minus the audible originals of 
course, at roughly the same price; but you can pick a local bookstore to 
support and they get half of the money.  They have a membership that gets you 
one book a month for $14.99 per month, first book free.

I’ve not started my membership yet because the first book I want to try is not 
available yet do to the pandemic.  The reader hasn’t been able to go into the 
studio to record the book, Riviera Gold, by Laurie R. King.  The 16th book in 
the Mary Russell, Sherlock Holmes series.

 

Finding the search area of their web site is tricky and I have given them 
feedback about the accessibility, and they always respond quickly; but getting 
their web designer to make changes may take longer.

Since I have not actually started my membership, I cannot speak to how easy it 
is to get the books either in their app, or as I would likely due, into Voice 
Dream Reader.

 

I’ve pasted the info about membership below if anyone wants to take the plunge.

Audible is a better deal cost wise.
However, Libro.fm is offering an alternative that allows you to support a local 
bookstore, and play the recordings on any device.
I know several people who are fed up with Amazon taking over the world of books 
and would rather spend a little more, and support local bookstores.
Hence, yet another personal preference issue that has no right answer.
It is just nice to have alternatives.
The last thing I will say on this matter is that I'm noticing that BARD from 
the National Library Service is getting more and more of the commercially 
recorded books, so if one is patient, one can get books for free; which is even 
a better deal from a cost perspective.

Syncing Local Music Files to iPhone

[K. Scott Carlson]

Hello, I have a major issue with regards to syncing albums onto my iPhone from 
my local iTunes library. I have a large amount of music, and not all of it can 
fit on my phone at once. The big issue I have run into is that, if I want to 
get rid of all of my albums and sync different ones, there is no way to do this 
quickly. If I turn off the sync feature, everything is deleted; but if I turn 
it back on, the albums I had previously selected in the "music" tab in the 
iPhone settings in iTunes are still checked. I have to go through and uncheck 
each album individually, which takes a tremendously long time. I don't have 
wi-fi at the moment, so iTunes match isn't an option as I have no way to upload 
the music; and I'm not planning on getting an Apple Music/Spotify subscription 
right now. Can anyone offer any advice?

Re: correcting a text mesage on the watch

[juan mojena]

Are used to love to dictate before but now Siri seems to make so many more 
mistakes. Do you see this happening when you dictate? with Siri?

If it is a bit of a longer message or if it contains words which SIRI may get 
wrong it is much better to manually start the message and then when you are in 
the message field to use dictation. You can now dictate your message in shorter 
pieces and, if necessary review and make manual corrections. This is not 
possible on the watch.
Of course if you are having a longer back and forth text chat whether it's in 
the Messages app, on WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger it's stil easiest to use a 
Bluetooth keyboard.

Hi Terry,

When sending the text from the watch you either get a don't send if it's a new 
message which is a button at the right hand end of the display,

If you are replying to a text then you should get a cancel and send buttons at 
the left end of the display,

The cancel and the don't send will allow you to re do your text if you need to 
correct them before sending.

Subject: correcting a text mesage on the watch

Hello everyone,


Is it possible to correct a text message, when sending it from the watch?

If so, what would I need to do?


I like to read, and dictate texts from my watch. It seems easier to dictate a 
text from the watch. I don't know how true this really is. But it seems to work 
better for me, most of the time.

However, it does mess up at times. So this is why I was wondering if I could 
possibly correct the messages. It sure would be nice to be able to do this.


Thank you,


Terri

Re: An alternative to Audible for future purchases

[Richard Turner]

Audible is a better deal cost wise.
However, Libro.fm is offering an alternative that allows you to support a local 
bookstore, and play the recordings on any device.
I know several people who are fed up with Amazon taking over the world of books 
and would rather spend a little more, and support local bookstores.
Hence, yet another personal preference issue that has no right answer.
It is just nice to have alternatives.
The last thing I will say on this matter is that I'm noticing that BARD from 
the National Library Service is getting more and more of the commercially 
recorded books, so if one is patient, one can get books for free; which is even 
a better deal from a cost perspective.

RE: An alternative to Audible for future purchases

The nice thing with Audible is that at least in the US you can buy all your 
credits at once and if you buy 24 credits at once it works out to around $9.50 
per credit. 
Also Audible has daily deals, you can sign up for the email and while sometimes 
a week or two may go by without anything that interests me, there are usually 
at least 1 or 2 books a month I like and you can then pick up extra books for 
around $4.95, sometimes a buck less and sometimes a buck more.
Then you have the other pronotions when at times you can buy 2 books with 1

with respect to their selection and pricing and the app is super accessible as 
well.

I know the member benefit of 30% is exactly the same as audible.  Its

for me.  I have placed my membership on hold until I decide to begin
it again.  I will write to them.  I chose as one of my reasons for

it is cheaper in the long run then this service of libro.fm.

 sGreetings,
 Since Audible has been discussed a lot lately, I wanted to mention an
 alternative resource that I am seriously considering.
 It is called Libro.fm.
 They seem to have everything Audible has, minus the audible originals
 of course, at roughly the same price; but you can pick a local
 bookstore to support and they get half of the money.  They have a
 membership that gets you one book a month for $14.99 per month, first
 book
 free.
 They are non-DRM books, so can be played on any player.
 I've not started my membership yet because the first book I want to
 try is not available yet do to the pandemic.  The reader hasn't been
 able to go into the studio to record the book, Riviera Gold, by Laurie
 R. King.  The 16th book in the Mary Russell, Sherlock Holmes series.

 Finding the search area of their web site is tricky and I have given
 them feedback about the accessibility, and they always respond
 quickly; but getting their web designer to make changes may take
 longer.
 Since I have not actually started my membership, I cannot speak to how
 easy it is to get the books either in their app, or as I would likely
 due, into Voice Dream Reader.

 I've pasted the info about membership below if anyone wants to take
 the plunge.
