One more annoyance with getting music from Qobuz: Apple Music
recognises it sufficiently well that it's picked up by
Music Match, but it then decides I don't actually have the right
country/region on my phone to listen to it. Thanks,
Apple.
Investigating the extent of this fileshare jankiness, it looks
like trying to copy a movie-sized file from my laptop to the
fileshare is not possible. Bizarre. Time to go tinker with the
Advanced Settings, I guess. This feels like something that should
Just Work, does it not?
Because I'm too lazy to do it right, I flipped a bunch of
likely-looking things and now it seems it's working better... or
not. I feel like I should go back to AFP despite the fact that
Apple's been pushing SMB for some years now.
Turned off Cloud Music sync. Did a manual over-the-cable sync
instead. "Warning, this will overwrite songs synced by
<machine that hasn't been turned on in several
years>". This
works, obviously, but I lose
over-the-air sync. So, per some random guy on the Internet, I'll
try turning the Cloud Music sync back on and see if magic
occurs. I guess I can always convert the raw bits into an
ISO9660 image and feed it in as a CD... but no, magic
appears to have occurred!
Unmounted the duff share and remounted with AFP. No problems
since. Go figure.
