       | Up until 1 month ago, I used my Galaxy S7 as my phone and I ran
       | navidrome inside Linux (AnLinux) inside Termux and it didn't
       | close automatically.
       | 
       | I now do the same with a Galaxy S10e as the already semi-broken
       | S7 decided to call it quits.

       | Could've taped a dollar store qi puck to the back of it.

       |  _Thus I transcoded everything to mp3 at a lower bitrate that was
       | still acceptable to my ears._
       | 
       | Somebody please tell me under what circumstances listening to low
       | bit rate mp3 is better than dropping fifteen bucks on a 256GB
       | microsd card. That is pants on head crazy.

         | I love these quirky working too hard for an iota of
         | questionable gains. It warms my heart and soothes my soul. IMHO
         | this kind of behaviour is going to be our saving grace when the
         | aliens come and see if we're fit to join the galactic
         | community. :P
