Excellent, we will watch your career with great interest! ;)

I have some batch jobs on my windows machine that do it, so I guess I could go to the trouble of building my own container to run them, was just looking for an easy way out ;)

I'll have to check this out. By any chance can you give it a Playlist and have it monitor it for changes and auto-download any new entries?

I'm not the OP but I like how you are thinking. Might look into this idea myself.

Hello all, looking for a sanity check and any advice from you good folks. I've always built my own PCs, however I haven't done a build for myself in some time. For a bit of perspective my current system is an i5-3750... so yup.

Anyways, I'm thinking of hopping up to an AM5 system hoping that it will be valid for a few years (though maybe not the 10+ I've had out of this system!) while also getting in as relatively cheaply as possible, whilst still being in a fairly solid place. So my thought are as follows:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X (Cooling via a Pure Rock 2)
MoBo: ASUS TUF Gaming B650-PLUS WiFi
RAM: Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 6000Mhz 32GB
GFX: MSI RTX 3060 Ventus 2X (12GB)
NVMe: WD Black SN770 2TB
PSU: Corsair RM850e
Case: NZXT H7 Flow Midi Tower (Will be a shame to let go of my old NZXT Phantom but too many of the fans are weird sizes so awkward to replace, and wasn't designed with modern AIOs in mind, should I go that route in the future.)

A couple of extra bits of information:

It's mainly a system I will use for gaming, though these days there's not so many fast pace shooters as there are slow paced city builders and the like, so ultimate frame rates are not a super top priority for me. Edit: Gaming on a 1440P LG Ultragear

I went RTX 3060 as it seemed to be the cheapest way to get a relatively modern card (Currently using a GTX 1660 Ti) with 12GB of VRAM, as I've started playing around a lot with AI Image Generation which does like to eat up VRAM.

PSU is probably way more than this system will need, but figured it was best to leave headroom for future CPU/GPU upgrades, and the price difference for lower wattages seems negligible. (Contemplated a 1000W, but there the price jump seems to lie)

So any advice, or just "yup looks good" feedback would be welcomed before I jump back in to building.

Oh also this build is currently around the 10,000 DKK range and hoping to stick around that area. ($1,400 / £1,150 / €1,350)

A few years back I scanned a whole pile of photos from my childhood (I'm from 1974). My method was to scan the original negatives wherever possible on a flatbed scanner. Only scanning the actual prints where the negatives were lost or badly damaged. (Actually I still scanned those negatives just so I had them incase I ever wanted to try and digitally repair any scratches etc, either manually or via some automated /AI tool in the future.)

I've been paying the sub so I can pick up and play on my phone, tablet or PC whichever I happen to be using when I want to listen, but I'll be dropping it if that is indeed the new price!
