ShawnT 🐀<p>They Might Be Giants' "Fingertips" (the entire 21 track streak) is my benchmark for how good at gapless playback a music app is.

Mrs.Alice :verified_twit:✨<p>The lengths I go to scratch an itch…</p><p>Goal: Listen to the album Apollo 18 by They Might Be Giants as it was originally intended— with the “Fingertips” tracks randomly shuffled in.</p><p>Why is this difficult? Because unlike the CD, every streaming platform treats Fingertips as one long track!!</p><p>So here’s what I did:<br>&gt; Buy used CD<br>&gt; Use external HD to rip CD to MacBook<br>&gt; Transfer mp3s to a micro SD card<br>&gt; Insert card into Divoom Tivoo-2 (which has a local shuffle mode) and… voila!!</p><p><a href="https://retro.pizza/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Music</span></a> <a href="https://retro.pizza/tags/TMBG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TMBG</span></a></p>
