    • First public release of Musica-Notes.   Musica-Notes is a lightweight, browser-based application for cataloging and querying a personal music collection.   See the included installation documentation for setup instructions.   Downloads: Use the application tarballs and PDF documentation attached to this release. The automatically generated GitHub source archives contain the repository source tree; they are not the packaged application releases. The github links is here
    • Welcome.    Aging AV receivers rapidly fall behind current developments in both receiver and recording technologies, like, say, Dolby Atmos, HDMI's recent ARC developments, etc.   I second @BobTFM35's recommendation - consider investing the money you could put into the aging Sunfire, with early-AV-era technology..., put that money toward a new Marantz - even one of the basic entry-level models like an NR1510 ($700 list), or a Cinema 70s ($1300 list), are going to outperform receivers that are aging and have older-designs.  You could put $400 - $600 into a repair/restoration..., depending on the effort (hours) required.  Typical electronic service costs per hour are in the $125-$175 per hour range - for good knowledgeable techs - which you would want.   I love Sunfire - so if your heart is there - go for it - but realize that new AV-technology-developments can never be back-integrated into aging receivers designed decades ago.
