![]() With Journal, it’s easy to get started by logging a simple text entry, or adding rich details like photos, videos, locations, or audio recordings to add more context. And we’re making it possible for other journaling apps to offer the same personalized suggestions while maintaining the highest level of privacy.” “Journal makes it easy to preserve rich and powerful memories, and practice gratitude by intelligently curating information that is personal to the user, right from their iPhone. ![]() “We are excited to bring the benefits of journaling to more people,” said Bob Borchers, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. Journal and the Journaling Suggestions API are available with the release of iOS 17.2. With the new Journaling Suggestions API, third-party journaling apps can also suggest moments for users to write about. On-device machine learning provides private, personalized suggestions to inspire journal entries, and customizable notifications help users develop their writing habits. With Journal, users can capture and write about everyday moments and special events in their lives, and include photos, videos, audio recordings, locations, and more to create rich memories. Journal, a new iPhone app available today, helps users reflect and practice gratitude through journaling, which has been shown to improve wellbeing. Initially chose Apple Lossless over FLAC on the assumption there would be long-term commitment to quality/consistency and decoder support, but was that right? Roon could definitely be my main metadata management tool if it only had a column browser option.Apple launches Journal, a new app to reflect on everyday moments and life’s special events As someone who has 3000 CDs ripped into Apple Lossless, am concerned about Apple’s long-term commitment to the format. Have been testing Swinsian, and its Column Browser, and it seems promising for “Step 2” above, but there’s another loose end looming large namely, that there’s no Apple Lossless encoder in Swinsian … or anywhere else other than iTunes/Music. Have tried to fiddle with the new Apple Music app … somehow using smart playlists to emulate the genre column of Column Browser, but it just doesn’t work well. Workflow was: (1) rip into iTunes, (2) correct/manage metadata in iTunes, (3) allow Carbon Copy to move iTunes library changes to Synology at night, (4) enjoy music collection via Synology-based Roon core. Haven’t seen any other good way to manage a library of several thousand ripped CDs. I’m afraid being a digital music “collector” is a dead hobby.Ĭan’t fathom how column browser could go away … but here we are. I am a little worried how I am going to export music for playback in my car and with my Walkman (both of which are now done using DougScripts and iTunes), but I’ve been using Soundiiz to create matching playlists from my iTunes collection on Spotify. With the macOS Catalina “dumpster fire”, I am moving on and saying goodbye to Apple for managing my music library. It takes some getting used to, but I’ve managed to build collections that mimic (and improve upon) what I did in iTunes. It first, I was missing iTunes features for “slicing and dicing”, but I’ve learned to replacing everything I used to do in iTunes with Roon’s tag, focus and bookmark features. I use XLD for ripping/transcoding and Metadactics (macOS app) for tagging. I am learning to live without iTunes and replacing it with Roon. The world belongs to Spotify (I know Apple claims big subscriber numbers, but they are giving it away - I have a free Apple Music subscription from Verizon). The fact is, the kids don’t collect music and Apple has never had a good eco-system for sharing music across devices, other than MusicMatch and Apple Music. I am one of those collectors and I am as pissed as you are.īut I’ve seen this coming for a long time. How do you manage your library to gain control of a large library? None of the streaming services offers a robust music management platform. I realize many people are moving to NUCs and Nucleus’ and the like, but I still need to be able to manage my library in a fast and flexible way. ![]() it just can’t ‘slice and dice’ a large library in a useful way. Smart Playlists - to collect groups of songs in a large libraryĪs great as it is as a player, Roon is not yet ready to be a serious management platform.Star Ratings - for separating wheat from chaff on a useful scale.Grouping - which was useful for sub-genres.Column Browser for easy navigation of a large library.I’m looking for your solutions for managing my library. Clearly Apple feels only casual pop listeners matter and that there’s no more room for collectors who’ve built large libraries on their software for almost 20 years. Apple’s new Music app in Catalina has eliminated it’s most useful management feature, the Column Browser. ![]() OK I think my patience has finally run out.
