What if VLC was on the 3DS? 🎥

I am delighted by all the people I see who want to cut the Spotify and music streaming cord by using mp3s again so you're in control with no algorithm or ads and you own the music no take backsies, but I just want to let you all know you don't have to splurge on a DAP if you don't have the money or don't want to carry multiple devices with you. The free VLC app will let you store and play mp3 (and i believe other formats too) on your smart phone, and they vehemently oppose ads. That's what I was using before I found a used Clip Jam for cheap and then later bought a used Phinistec z6 for ten dollars more.

What's the story with VLC?

"we don't know how many people download our software 'cause that's fucking spying"

"one of the largest open source projects that's still in the 'hippy way "

incredible lol. I love this.

TIL, you can make a plain text file with one direct http/s link to a video file per line, set the file extension of the playlist file to .m3u8, and VLC will load and play the playlist just fine. We're using it for archive.org and it's working great, you can even shuffle the playlist in VLC

Charles Martinet's Website!

I discovered that Charles Martinet has his own website! It has a charmingly simple 90s web site feel, which is always refreshing to see with what a big corporate clusterfuck so much of the internet has become.

My favorite section of the website is the voice over page. Lots of cute little character images, and a gallery of compilations of voice work Mr. Martinet has done that you can listen to. Sadly, some parts are a bit broken - the promos button brings a page with no audio buttons, though if you download the page with firefox you'll get the mp3s of the page which you can then listen to. I noticed at-least one of the voice work mixes had some audio corruption too, sadly.

Here's some of the other pages from the web site. Sadly, as you can see, the video player on all the pages doesn't seem to work anymore either. The good news is that if you download these pages via firefox, you can still find the video in their files and run it using the VLC media player!

Lastly, if you click "MORE MOVIE CLIPS - CLICK HERE" on the actor page, you get this strange and ominous page that just says "NINE MONTHS - ARNIE". You can visit the site yourself at the link below!

i wanna talk more about using VLC to listen to music 👉🏻👈🏻 i wanna move away from spotify so bad and irs felt like a good step towards doing that. rn i kinda just use it for ambient stuff though (mostly dungeon synth)

(this is from a playlist i put together for. the second. world i’m worldbuilding) my fave part is adding custom album covers for the songs w/ mp3tag

it’s like. surprisingly easy to do this??

you can upload your mp3s from your desktop and download them via wifi onto your phone. that’s literally it they’re now in there and will be sorted according to their metadata (albums can act a little weird sometimes though but that’s the only issue i’ve had)

this is my collection so far (this truly is 90% dungeon synth) but i do still use spotify for most music since i have literallt thousands of songs saved there. right now my goal is to listen to more niche stuff here and put hyper specific playlists on here

also not at all related to VLC but DIM’s compendiums go crazy i fucking love them
