🎧 LPC USB Player 🎧

the LPC USB player lets you listen to your own copy of the LPC Ultimate Session Bundle while browsing stretchie. the audio stays on your computer; stretchie only reads the folder you choose and does not upload its contents.

  1. use stretchie in a desktop version of Chrome or Edge. the player is not shown on phones, tablets, or browsers that cannot open a local folder.
  2. select the 🎧 button in the lower-right corner of the page.
  3. select Select LPC USB, then choose the top-level folder for the collection—usually the folder named LPC USB. do not choose an individual album folder.
  4. open an album or track page and use its play button, or choose a result on the Subtitles page. the selected track will open in the floating player and continue playing as you move between pages.

your browser may ask for permission to read the folder again after it restarts. select the 🎧 button and allow access when prompted. if a track cannot be found, confirm that you selected the top-level collection folder and that its album folders and MP3 filenames have not been renamed.

you can use the player’s standard controls to play, pause, seek, and change volume. stretchie remembers the chosen folder when the browser supports it, but it cannot access that folder unless you grant read permission.

🧭 Search Pages 🧭

there are four pages that utilize the search feature, found under the Search menu option:

the “Aliases” page enables for searching through the aliases and nicknames that LPC uses when calling others. in your case - you can call me stretchie. the page also displays all aliases used throughout the discography.

the “Establishments” page enables searching through the establishments and places that LPC mentions. a frequently used establishment is UPS. the page also displays all establishments used throughout the discography.

the “Speakers” page enables searching through the “victims” of calls from LPC. an example that inspired the creation of this web app is Alex Trebek.

the “Subtitles” page enables searching through the subtitles and spoken words that are heard on the calls.

🔎 Search Logic 🔎

the search feature uses a logical ‘and’ when operating, instead of a logical ‘or’. this change in behavior affects when multiple words are searched. before, the search would return any subtitles containing any word that was entered. now, the search will only return subtitles that contain all words being searched.

for example, a search term of “cheese pizza” previously return 134 results - all subtitles containing either the word “cheese” or “pizza”. now, the same search of “cheese pizza” returns 7 results - all subtitles containing both the words “cheese” and “pizza”.

note that results returned are not based on phrase matching. for example, a subtitle of “i want a cheese pizza” will be returned, but so will “i would like cheese on my pizza”. due to limitations of lunr.js, phrase matching is not possible.

also note that the ordering of the words does not matter, so a search for “cheese pizza” and for “pizza cheese” will return the same results.
