How To Sync DL'd Music From Iphone To Linux Mint With Rsync

Using this bash alias in my .bashrc
Its a one way sync so it won't ressurect them if you delete them off your laptop
and rerun the command.

#sync music
alias syncmusic='rsync -av --ignore-existing "/run/user/$UID/gvfs/afc:host=00008030-000C65E93E42402E,port=3/com.imect.djplayer-sm/uke-songs/" ~/Music/'
# its on the closest (front) usb on the left (if that matters)

This Chatgpt explanation is hillarious:

"Quick vibe check
You're basically doing:
Linux → GVFS → AFC → iPhone app storage
so you can rsync your app’s music folder.
And honestly? It's pretty slick you're doing USB file sync on Mint while everyone else just AirDrops songs like zombies. Respect. 💪"

Reason 5 in Virtualbox

retrostudio

they want you to use virt-manager
used this command to convert it to a hard drive image that virtual box can read instead
because I found it easier.

 
qemu-img convert -O vmdk input.qcow2 output.vmdk

I was even able to finally get fl 20 and virtual dj to run nicely in this windows 7 vm after installing

spent alot of time tweaking the latency with vb-matrix as could get it as low as 13ms.

Modularizing Your Bash Functions (Example: vicd with Vifm)

Step 1: Create a Modular Config Directory

Keep your Bash setup clean by separating custom scripts:

mkdir -p ~/.bashrc.d

This directory will store small .sh files instead of crowding your .bashrc.

---

Step 2: Add Your Function

Create a file just for your Vifm directory picker:

vim ~/.bashrc.d/vicd.sh

Paste this inside:

vicd() {
    local dst
    dst="$(command vifm --choose-dir - "$@")"
    if [ -z "$dst" ]; then
        echo 'Directory picking cancelled/failed'
        return 1
    fi
    cd "$dst"
}

---

Step 3: Source All Scripts Automatically

At the end of your ~/.bashrc, add:

for f in ~/.bashrc.d/*.sh; do
    [ -f "$f" ] && . "$f"
done

Reload your shell:

source ~/.bashrc

Now your vicd function (and any future ones) load automatically — tidy, modular, and easy to manage.
