   My HUGE library is so organized now!

   Love this product and the way it interfaces with my personal library of music. I have thousands of hours of opera -- and a lot of it is not available anywhere else (because it is personal bootlegs). I needed a way to organize by genre, by album, by singer, and by composer, and then stream from my desktop browser at work and from my phone. Astiga checks all the boxes.

   👍 Pros:    Search within a library|Multiple platforms|Personalized content|No need to install amazon music app

   My own personal music streamer in hi-resolution sound

   This app liberated my music from global companies and put it back under my own control and personalisation. I'm not dependent on their storage or app changes that restrict how I play my own music. It also works across devices and means my music isn't stuck on one device or place. For the small cost, I can stream losslessly wherever I am with perfect sound quality. I have over 130,000 tracks in my library and it works wonderfully, with my own genres, playlists, starred selections and app appearance.

   🏁 Competitors: None

   👍 Pros:    Cloud based music|Lossless music|Music streaming

   👎 Cons:    None

• Music Streaming Server that works with folders ?

  It depends how self-hosted you want to be, but if your files are webdav accessible to the Internet you could use https://asti.ga/ - one of the browsing views is a folder based one. Source: 10 months ago

• Tell HN: Stripe killed my music locker service, so I'm open sourcing it

  Update: I have reached out to the nice Stripe employee who volunteered their email, let's see what happens. It's been pointed out a few times that my marketing says the site won't die, and me killing it would be very ironic. This is 100% true, and I have decided to leave the site up even if Stripe decides to ultimately close my account. Luckily, our infrastructure costs are very low (<$5 month currently). I... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• play.asti.ga not reachable anymore?

  Good news: https://asti.ga is now operational. I've got to make some tweaks to get the web app working again, and that will mean it will become unavailable from https://astiga.audio once more - sorry about that. Source: 11 months ago

• .ga domains are no longer managed by Freenom, and all previously registered domains will be deleted

  Seems to be working now though: https://asti.ga. Source: 11 months ago

• What apps do you use to save money? (USA)

  Musicolet. It's a free music player app. It let's my organize all my music (downloaded onto my SD card) and play it without ads. I ended up spending $5 to get the premium version for crossfade and other features. Originally found it after my student discount spotify +Hulu plan ran out. I canceled spotify and use the lowest tier of Hulu ($2.15 per month with a student discount) now. Way cheaper than paying $10+... Source: 5 months ago

• Google is putting the final nail in Android 4.4 KitKat's coffin

  KitKat was so good that I'm still rocking it on a NoteⅣ for offline maps and music in my car even though there are newer official updates available from Smasnug: https://i.imgur.com/AhYJSYP.jpg The newest version of Musicolet still supports it! https://krosbits.in/musicolet/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• YouTube tests blocking videos unless you disable ad blockers

  Yeah I do similar, I actually use musicolet to listen to my offline music library (https://krosbits.in/musicolet), an android app that is just offline, no ads, no network permission at all, nothing. It does the job very well and it does not mine any data or show any ads. I highly recommend to give it a try (I assume you use android?). And to add, while it is free and I could have continued just fine not paying... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago
