Deemix has a container that has a WEB UI
This is exciting! Can’t wait to kill my install by trying to upgrade!
I’m a huge fan of LMS (Lyrion Music Server, formerly Logitech Media Server, formerly Slimserver, formerly…)
Fantastic piece of software. The server can run on a first gen Raspberry Pi and handle 100k+ tracks like it’s nobody’s business
? I’ve got IPTV working fine on Libreelec (Linux) on 20.3
36 TB usable space on my NAS… Music doesn’t even make a dent
I’m an old man. “Back in my day”, we heard by word of mouth, the radio, browsing at music shops, etc.
We can still do that in the digital age. When someone posts a random song, anywhere, check it out. Try checking out internet radio of genres you like (I’m finding a lot of Classical this way currently). Check out Bandcamp and IRL music store every once in a while just see what calls to you. Sometimes, let the cool album art guide you ;)
Depends. I tend to listen to whole albums, so I let LMS give me a random album if I wanna hear something new. If I’m in the mood for whatever, I do random mixes in LMS. LMS also has a music similarity feature (with plugins) that will play related songs after an album, too, so that also helps me find new stuff that sounds like stuff I already like
If I wanna listen to something and I don’t know what, I just let LMS give me a random album and see what I get!
You pretty much calculated spot on! ;)
Storage is cheap, and music (even in FLAC format) is small. You can fit tens of thousands of songs into a terabyte.
I download anything and everything. An artist I enjoy? Entire discography. I’ve only heard one song? Entire discography–there may be more I might enjoy! An artist in a genre I like but I’ve never heard? Entire discography.
I’m at over 125k songs, and I still feel like my collection is a sliver. I eventually want to reach 1m songs and truly become my own Spotify. Finding songs I’ve never heard before and that I end up loving in my own collection is a joy I can’t describe.
Yup! Been using a 1TB iPod for almost a year, and I’ve never looked back
These rips, even in FLAC, never contain logs or cues. If you’re downloading FLAC for archival purposes, these files are essential. Private trackers and SS are the only way I download music. Scene rips are a waste of my time
