  • Plex/Plexamp music tagging system is broken
    For those that dont know if you add an album that has multiple album artists ( artist 1;artist b) then plex/plexamp instead of showing the album in both artists pages and showing both artist tags as clickable (same way EVERY streaming service is serving music right now) it populates a new artists page named "artists a;artist b". They keep adding trash features that none cares about or even asks and don't even have... Source: 12 months ago
  • What kind of applications are missing from the Linux ecosystem?
    Just wanted to give quick plug for my music player app Supersonic! It's a client for Subsonic API-compatible servers, so it handles the UI and playback while the server (Gonic or LMS would be good lightweight choices for localhost-only setup) handles the library management/metadata indexing. It's a quite young project but I have lots of plans for continued improvement and new features (and would gladly accept... Source: about 1 year ago
  • Any way to stream my nearly 2TB library from my iPhone?
    If you're concerned about power usage You can start with just a raspberry pi or something similar running something like Lightweight Music Server which uses a subsonic protocol. Then any app that can connect to a subsonic server like ultrasonic (not sure if this one specifically available for iOS). That's how I started before moving onto Plex and Plexamp.

  • Plex Music Library undid all of my organizing
    Good time to move your library to something else like LMS Https://github.com/epoupon/lms. Source: over 1 year ago
  • What's yout preferred selfhosted music streaming suite?
    I use LMS (Lightweight Music Server) to stream my music to desktop and mobile. It supports the Subsonic API for clients, scrobbling to ListenBrainz, has a nice web UI, and for some reason is the only music server that supports volume equalization with Replaygain. Source: over 1 year 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
