• I am gathering a list of "best movies" from each year to watch. I'm looking for examples of cultural significance, popularity at release, and of course, enjoyability! What are some of your suggestions?

  I found this website called icheckmovies.com. This site has a bunch of both official and unofficial "Best Of" lists (Academy Award, IMDB, 1001 Movies to See Before You Die, Sight and Sound polls, etc etc etc). Some days I would pick a list that looked interesting. Some days I would just look at the "unchecked movies" list and sort by "number of official lists." Then I'd pick something to watch. Sometimes it was an... Source: over 1 year ago

• Today I earned my Criterion award from icheckmovies.com. I have finally attained enlightenment.

  I love icheckmovies.com. I have the criterion bronze myself. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Greatest ‘Greatest Movies Of All Time’ List

  I'm a frequent user of icheckmovies.com and they have virtually all legitimate movie lists out there. Makes it super easy to keep track of progress. I've seen the full AFI Top 100 but there are certainly better lists out there. Source: almost 2 years ago

• The Movies that The Oscars Got Wrong

  Icheckmovies.com is a movie tracking website (similar to Letterboxd) that revolves around checking off how many movies you've seen from various "toplists", as decided by the owners and community. There are currently 214 recognized lists, which vary from IMDB's Top 250, to BoxOfficeMojo's Highest Grossing Films, to Quentin Tarantino's Coolest Movies. /r/movies even used to maintain a list, but it appears to be...

• So, how do you get music for your self-hosted server?

  This should help substantially: https://picard.musicbrainz.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 13 days ago

• "Unacceptable": Spotify bricking Car Thing devices in Dec. without refunds

  No need to use the server, Navidrome allows any client to connect remotely (WAN included) and play music that is hosted on the server. It also can be set up to transcode on the fly uncompressed music when it is accessed from a metered connection to minimize bandwidth usage. I barely scratched its surface, but it looks promising. The only requirement is that it needs the correct metadata to identify songs and... - Source: Hacker News / 28 days ago

• Mp3tag – The Universal Tag Editor

  I highly recommend Musicbrainz Picard: https://picard.musicbrainz.org/ It will match against the Musicbrainz database and will acoustically ID your files, so the tags can be completely wrong. Just dump folders of albums into the client, it will group and sort things and ID them. It works great. - Source: Hacker News / 28 days ago

• Fans quitting Spotify to save their love of music (2022)

  Have you tried https://www.funkwhale.audio/? It can be used effectively as a "private spotify". Labeling is a solved problem thanks to https://picard.musicbrainz.org/, and the fact that a lot of the music you buy these days comes pre-labeled already. You then have a web-app (and/or a mobile app, if that's your thing) where you can stream music as you would with Spotify. You can even build yourself a little... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• What do you use to tag your music on an NAS (Unraid)?

  I use picard for my collection. My work flow is Picard > Lyrics Finder > Foobar for BPM, RealGain and DR > Custom python script to pull genre and mood from Last.FM and spotify> then Advanced Renamer to perform naming clean up of folder names. I lowercase and underscore spaces. Also does files if I happen to need Mp3Tag when Picard doesn't find anything. Once this is done I move files on to may NAS. Source: 6 months ago
