This lets me do things like make a list of Command-line Copy statements to extract a randomised subset of files and copy them over to my (tiny) phone for a different playlist each week. I…

Switch Games
Hello, I recently got a Switch 2, I love it but the games are so expensive. Does anyone know if there are any places where I can buy them cheaper.

Saving in Google Drive
Question? How do you organise your files in Google Drive? The architecture is a bit of a mystery to me. Can anyone recommend a good YouTube video about this or explain at all. At the moment Google Drive just saves for me and I go into recent files. There must be more to it than that.
