  • Clients often are better suited for music, specially for mobile. For example with Subsonic clients (Navidrome, Gonic, etc), the client aggressively caches the queued songs, which is super helpful when there are hiccups in the network while traveling. A few clients allow me to configure the cache size, allow me to mark some titles are always cached, allow me to browse the cache (case I don’t have network at all). It’s just way better suited for music.

    And on the desktop clients are way lighter weight.



  • Just a small precision, courriel is from Quebec, and everyone* uses it cause it’s a great translation. It rolls off the tongue and was an excellent neologism from the Office Quebecoise du Francais. The académie wanted to use “mail” which is dumb and confusing and bring nothing to the language that just using “email” doesn’t already do. It is often a case study of how Quebec does some neologism better.

    *Maybe a bit less in very colloquial speak, but still at least as common as using the anglicism.
