An Ethernet switch would be the answer. I got one of these recently. No muss, no fuss.

I can thoroughly recommend the Trout Mask Replica one.

Looks like Google have been listening and intend to address some of the YTM shortcomings:
Ars Technica: Google says it’s working hard to address YouTube Music complaints.

YTM just seems to be faster to use all round. For example, adding a track to a playlist took forever in GPM; virtually instant now.
And by “cloud service” I mean having a backup of your files on Dropbox, […]

I face the same issue. This
explains the whole situation as best I’ve found.
I loved GPM and was dreading its demise.
I love YTM more. It’s faster, more responsive.
I think the message is: regard YTM as a […]

Google Nest WiFi. Easy to set up and very effective, not techie to set up.

Just burned through the 33⅓ book about Trout Mask Replica by Kevin Courrier. Tells the story well and writes brilliantly about the music itself. Highly recommended.

And let’s not forget that most of what was destroyed in that fire was TV and film stock, about which we know even less than the music masters. The journalist who wrote the original piece has suggested someone find […]

Listened to this just the other day, and again on its anniversary. It’s great.
Had a bit of a thing for gingham, our Don, dinee?

One aspect (as I understand it from what I have heard, I am not a lawyer) is that under US copyright law masters can revert to the original artist after 35 years. There seems to be some evidence that artists have […]

Quite right Fatima – I meant to say that Zax knew that entire labels’-worth had been lost, but not the full extent of the damage as revealed in the NYT article. What was known then was bad enough.

These are all good questions. Conserving this stuff is expensive and hard. Is it ultimately worthwhile?
I think so.
Another perspective on all this from Andy Zax ,a producer who has worked on the Woodstock […]

This is such an upsetting story. To summarise: a storage facility for Universal burnt down in 2008. It turns out that something like 500,000 original masters of recordings by everyone from Louis Armstrong to 50 […]

I have a pair of Awei A845BL in ears that I keep on me. Nothing special, no noise cancelling but they are IPX4 water resistant, durable, comfortable and work pretty well to my ears. Set you back about £20, so use […]

Another vote for Beastie Boys Book. Funny, warm, life affirming and joyous. I recommend the audio book too: various readers including Adrock & Mike D who all do a great job.
If it doesn’t win there’s no justice.

The Guardian obituary implies he did paintng and decorating at one point in the 70s. And the 30 Century Man DVD has an extra from Ed Bicknell, who managed him at one point, saying Scott borrowed £500 from him and […]
