  • A few years back, I was installing Arch on an external hard disk. I was basically done, so I powered off the system, but I forgot to unmount the hard disk.

    Then I tried to boot to the OS on my computer, which was also Arch, and it got stuck at the BIOS splash screen. No luck rebooting.

    I remember panicking (because that was my only machine) and asking my computer teacher what to do and he also had no idea.

    I ended up manually unplugging and replugging the hard disk inside the case and it worked. To this day I still don’t know what went wrong.






  • Not sure if this fits your need, but if you just want to own the files, maybe try playing locally?

    I don’t have an unlimited data plan, so I use “Gelli” which can download from Jellyfin and play them offline. However, it’s buggy and haven’t been updated in a while, so I’m planning on ditching that, and switch to locally storing the music files.

    I found an Android music player named “Symphony”. It reads directories as album, as well as metadata. Importantly, it also saves the queue for me. I have a self-hosted Nextcloud so I can sync music to my phone. Symphony would read them from the directory.
