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

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.

Have you tried https://www.funkwhale.audio/? It can be used effectively as a "private spotify".

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.

Xrecode III, as a companion to my music player, for splitting with .cue files and (sometimes) converting between formats. The next best alternative seems to be fre:ac, but fre:ac is not quite good. Source: about 1 year ago

Https://xrecode.com/ should be able to do it is you can use it free for 30 days. I have used this program to convert 150k FLACs to 500kbps OGG and they sound really good. I like this audio converter so much I bought a copy of the newest version. Source: about 1 year ago

Just letting you know all of these CDs ripper to FLAC would take of 6tb to 8tb if you roll with 500kbps OGG it would take up 4.5tb to 6tb. If you want to rip 100 to 300 CDs yourself use this program https://xrecode.com/ it is so worth the price rip them to 500kbps OGG they will sound just fine. I have 155k tracks all at 500kbps OGG and they sound fine to me. Most people will never hear the difference between... Source: over 1 year ago
