• BTFS (BitTorrent Filesystem)

  Https://github.com/whipper-team/whipper Finding a good CD drive to rip them is the first step. https://flemmingss.com/importing-data-from-discogs-and-others-to-musicbrainz/ IME Discogs had the track data most often. And obviously rip to flac. - Source: Hacker News / 2 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

• After over 15 years of ripping and downloading, my music library just reached 20TB. AMA

  It's a Linux app that does CD Ripping. It runs in command line and can basically be semi automatic. Https://github.com/whipper-team/whipper. Source: about 1 year ago

• I've been making FLAC copies of my old CD collection, and I found a bit of past snake oil on one...

  A drive to read CDs and Whipper (automatic bit-perfect checks, conversion to FLAC, and playlist file creation). Source: over 1 year ago

• US NGO Consumer Reports also reporting on C and C++ safety for product development.

  (eg. It's the first listed option for Whipper, which is the closest open-source alternative to Exact Audio Copy and a Python project with a ton of C dependencies... And I say this as someone who dislikes Docker enough that I still went through the hassle of the "Building" section.). Source: over 1 year ago

• The day I canceled my Spotify subscription

  I switched to https://qobuz.com, mainly for the high audio quality (it goes up to 192kHz 24bit, which is worth it for me as I have the necessary equipment to make use of this), but it also supports "Spotify quality" i.e. Mp3 quality/320 kbps, but I stayed for the experience. It does not really have an algorithm, there is one playlist "My weekly Q", which updates each week with songs that you could like. The only... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Mr. Bungle - Nananana (lost fake song)

  Hi, anyone remember that song? I remember I downloaded it from ares and I liked it but unfortunately it wasn't by mr bungle, it was just mislabelled (like the toxic cover). If anyone has it around I would like to hear it again! On last.fm it comes up as some people listen to it from time to time. Any info you have, or the original artist, I'd appreciate it. From what I remember it sounded like a demo and just said... Source: 6 months ago

• 1970’s music makes me feel the most alive. What music does that for you?

  Try last.fm, great website for recommending music. Those one's you suggested are a bit more jazzy than I usually listen to but maybe try What's Goin' On - Marvin Gaye. Talking Book, or Songs in the Key of Life - Stevie Wonder. Couple of my favorites. Source: 6 months ago

• I Tried Apple Music and That Made Me Realize How Much Polish TIDAL is Missing

  However, I can fully enjoy my last.fm subscription with Tidal thanks to the integrated scrobbler. I could with AM too but it would be necessary to download (and buy) two different scrobblers : one for iOS and one for macOS. Then, I feel like Tidal has more interesting recommendations, especially when we talk about lesser-known artists. Tidal Rising allows for nice discoveries while AM is much more focused on music...
