  • 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: Reddit / 27 days 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: Reddit / about 1 month 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: Reddit / about 2 months 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.

    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: Reddit / 5 months ago
