• 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 / 5 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 / 5 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

• 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

• DAE hate when you just want to listen to a music playlist in shuffle order and it starts to play the first song?

  Right now I'm reading about mopidy and iris (I have a server with some docker services and it would be nice using it as a Spotify connect device), I think this setup could be extended with extra algorithms, maybe they already exist as modipy extensions. I've never gone into detail about these but I'll do it! Source: about 1 year ago

• Music player with remote control

  I've found Navidrome and Mopidy, and I think they checks some of the boxes. I'm not sure if it can play Spotify Free. It does not seem to support Amazon Music nor Deezer though. Source: about 1 year ago

• Modernizing my 1980s sound system

  MPD works great for non-tech-savvy friends over, you just need to install a web-based client and they can point their smartphone browser to it. To make it even easier for friends and family, I set up a dynamic DNS with a friendly URL like myjukebox.duckdns.org that points to the 192.168.xxx.xxx address where this is hosted. Mopidy (https://mopidy.com/) as the MPD server with Iris (https://mopidy.com/ext/iris/) as... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Advice on building an offline mp3 "radio"

  This was one of my favorite raspi projects. I gutted a non working (from my ability’s) ge vintage radio. Bluetooth speaker connected to the raspi and ran Mopidy as the UI each radio button was tied to a set of playlists (random number generated on each button push selected on of the genera based playlists) it also played a random bit of static as though the dial was scrubbing. I added 2 amber leds and based on the... Source: over 1 year ago

• Spotify has shut down libspotify

  It's really sad as this library has no official replacement. There's libraries like the Web API, but this is a library running on a browser. Libspotify allowed playback for custom applications (such as Mopidy[1]). [1] https://mopidy.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
