No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I sync my music to my phone from my home server.
Do you do an automatic sync or manual drag and drop?
I use syncthing for my pictures from my phone to my server and I keep saying I will do the opposite for my music but I have not gotten it organized/tagged well enough yet and I keep putting it off.
I have Plex so it automatically copies selected playlists and such to my phone. Going to be switching to Jellyfin soon though but I'm guessing it has a similar feature.
I use SyncThing as well to keep certain files and such synced from my server, phone, and tablet. I also sync pictures and video to my server from my phone and tablet.
Does plex pull the playlist data and still stream the music or does it actually make a duplicate copy of the music files on your phone?
I kind of treat my phone as a pseudo backup of my pictures and music so I keep a full local copy on it.
It actually makes a copy on my phone of both the Playlist and Music it references.
However, Plex seems to be moving towards things other than local media so you may want to avoid it. The recent app design changes are putting streaming media and corporate profits ahead of the actual users. That is why I am looking to switch to Jellyfin.
Im using emby now for my main media hosing program but I don't really like it or plex for music. On my mobile I use GoneMad but it doesn't sync on its own.
I came across Symfonium last night and it looks like it will be a good alternative to plexamp and it's supposed to work with multiple servers. I've used plex for around 10 years and have had a lifetime plexpass for nearly as long. The recent changes they have made pushing streaming first is the main reason why i am working to switch to something else.
It actually copies the music to the phone, but it's an automatic caching. As far as I'm aware you can't access the files directly and the app will handle refreshing/replacing the cache when it gets full. You absolutely shouldn't use it as a backup of any kind.
edit: never mind, you can also properly download playlists/albums independently from the cache. TIL
We are stuck in the same spot. Musicbrainz Picard might help? I checked it out but metal genre tags range from simple to way too specific to poorly categorized. Might help you get the tagging done at least.
Picard works well, I played around with it but it is still a bit tedious.
