This band is a real underdog at the moment, that loves playing in 5/4, 11/4, 12/4 time signatures. I bought their works on iTunes initially, but then I found out you can buy them in lossless on ototoy.jp so I bought those too!
Yeah that was likely the same one I was using. The home view doesn’t load any posts, among other things.
Unfortunately all updates after 1.3.0. (1) have failed to work for me
Wow, it made a huge difference to plug my headphones into a desktop, so I’m basically using an iMac as an iPod now 😂
Yes at the moment I just wanted to upgrade to CD-quality. My equipment definitely won’t handle anything more than that 😂
I've been going down the Hi-Res audio rabbit hole and learned how to buy from ototoy.jp (RIP my wallet). I ran across this comment for MacOS which was immediately applicable:
"The primary issue many don't realise is how Mac's are configured to play anything other than the standard 44.1khz/16bit output. To make this work, you must configure the output stream using the "Audio MIDI Setup" application found in the Utilities folder (from the Window menu, select 'Show Audio Devices', pick the output and set the Format to your choice of output). The maximum frequency is entirely based on the hardware capabilities. My 12 year old Mac Mini is quite capable of outputing from iTunes at 96khz at 24bit through the headphone out (which doubles as a digital toslink output) to my Pioneer receiver that can process the toslink input at 96khz/24bit. Has worked just fine for this purpose for years (and yes I've verified that the Pioneer is indeed processing 96khz/24bit data). Newer Macs can natively handle 192khz, though the toslink out via headphone jack was depreciated in more recent years, likely because few knew it existed."

Just about done getting English translations up there for each song.
I made a subreddit today for the band, tone spoon, because there isn’t one! I would love if these kinds of community-building tools existed for Nostr:
No, just sharing things that I think deserve more attention.
That’s the calculation people should be making, especially those who don’t have a million dollars laying around.
