That’s kind of how photographs work, isn’t it? They exist as a moment in time without context. Anything we say or think about this one is framed by our own experiences and feelings. That’s part of what makes it a powerful medium - the viewer is left to consider everything that led to this moment and what happened afterward.

All the OP is saying is that this particular moment in time reflects something that they believe is important to raising a child. As a dad of 3, I agree. You indulge their interests, you treat them as humans, you try your best to teach them about the world.

That doesn’t mean I think the family in this photo is doing everything right - just that in this one moment, they did something good for their kid.

Thank you very much! I follow zero sportsballs, so I’m often unaware of such things.

Help a guy out. Who WERE those guys?

Yeah. I used FileFlows for a bit to download lyrics and I do already have replaygain being added every night for new additions.

I see you’re settling in beets and if that works for you, that is excellent. Just this week, I started running it on copies of some albums in my collection to see how it did.

Over the last year, I’ve ripped (or cleaned up existing) about 25,000 songs. My process has really been rip them with whatever tags I can find, put them all through MP3tag to retrieve and clean up metadata, then run a script to backup the FLAC off-site, convert to MP3 locally, and copy to my NAS in my preferred directory structure.

I was thinking maybe I don’t want to deal with the tagging, hence my trials with beets. But you know, I don’t necessarily trust everything in Musicbrainz or like how they handle some things, so I’m probably going to stick with the semi-manual tagging. I am looking at still using beets to handle lyrics, replaygain, and fleshing out less important metadata.
