macos cable detection woes? not sure if this still applies: Transfer your data to-and-from /e/phone via USB cable - #6 by petefoth
for a file centric life (music and in general), syncthing is great. Uses local wifi, there’s 2 macos packages: synctrain or the seasoned release: syncthing-macos. Adhoc transfer: localsend.
Car: this is FP6 via Bluetooth to car speakers and it isn’t working?
Subsonic support by default is great, it’s simple technology. The easiest way to give this a spin is to run navidrome on your mac? gives you access to the whole library while doing something else in the house, without prior file sync. That said, I had better results with other clients than the default: Tempo, Subtracks with my badly tagged library. But then I run adhoc supysonic from folders host side.
