   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

• Bandcamp's Entire Union Bargaining Team Was Laid Off

  I would like to see something like Castopod [0], but for artists! Spinning up a website where you showcase and sell your music should (and could!) be as easy as using Wordpress, either via a subscription or self-hosted – on your own domain. Being plugged into the Fediverse makes it much easier to interact with fans and build a connection with your audience. It also makes it easy for people to share and talk about... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

  Try castopod, not used it in anger but it was easy to get going and running. https://castopod.org/. Source: 12 months ago

• Cheap Podcast File Hosting?

  I'm planning on spinning up multiple podcasts. Since I'm quite good with webhosting I'm thinking of spinning up a cheap castopod.org instance instead of paying potentially a lot (in the future, if they happen to get downloaded a lot). Only problem of course is the traffic that comes from having to server every episode's files from a server, because cheap hosting generally has bandwith (and computational)...

• Which Podcasting Aggregator do you use or recommend? How difficult is it, to change the podcasting platform later?

  Https://castopod.org/ is software for you to download and host a podcast for yourself. Very capable and it does stats too. Source: almost 2 years ago

• 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: 11 months ago

• Stream music from OneDrive on PC?

  Hi, I run a service called Astiga that allows you to do this. Take a look: https://asti.ga/. Source: 11 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: 12 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: 12 months ago
