• 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 / about 2 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: 5 months ago

• The Quest for Semantic Music Tagging Software

  Musicbrainz Picard - A great application that I've used in the past to identify and organize my saved music collection. It's not focused on adding semantic tags though: it's used for adding metadata to .mp3 files. Source: 6 months ago

• Spotify code suggests HiFi tier is coming with lossless audio for $20 / month

  I do the same but run it though Picard[0] before adding to Plex. [0]https://picard.musicbrainz.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Musicserver that works with folders, not albums

  Feed all of your music to something like 'musicbrainz picard' - it will sort out all the tags and provide the artwork too. Source: 11 months ago

• Spotify will reduce total headcount by 17% across the company

  Lots and lots of FOSS music players use libspotify or can otherwise connect to your Spotify account. Here's just one. It's BYO frontend. https://mopidy.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Bandcamp support is faltering – maybe you should download your music now

  Probably a good time to give a shout out to Mopidy: https://mopidy.com/ Though as for myself, I'm still running Squeezebox - nothing like being able to SSH into your smart speaker and mess around with the Perl system that's running it. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• I don't want streaming music, I just want to stream my music

  I have a music library on my home server that I use mopidy to play via the iris plugin integrated into my home assistant UI. It plays over Snapcast which streams over the network to multiple devices in the home with independent volume control. I can fire up the Snapcast client in my phone to get it going there as well, which does work over vpn if I'm away, though I generally just fire up the files from my phones... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Whole home sync'd rpi audio w plex, spotify, airplay

  Could instead use Mopidy as the music player, which has plugins for Spotify and Airplay support. Source: about 1 year ago

• How I organize my digital music collection -- suggestions for metadata/storage/tools?

  Thanks! I use it on a daily basis, but I don’t think it’s ready for a wider adoption yet — for example, a pause button is still missing ... I’d be curious to know your experience with it though! For something more stable, you might like Mopidy. Source: about 1 year ago
