Selfhosted

I chose Navidrome for my music collection. I basically use it when I'm outside working around the property. Put on my raggedy ass pair of Beats, I found in the thrift store for $5...had to do some repairs but they work, on a defunct old phone just for the wifi access. When I'm inside tho, I use Music Bee. Navadrome has everything I need, tho I am still searching for a mobile app that operates like I want it too. The app I'm currently using, Agin Music, is good, but there are a couple places in the operation flow that won't let me backtrack to the previous page I was viewing. I'll keep testing until I find one.

Really feeling this, the first paragraph could've written by me and I switched to Navidrome as well some months ago.

Btw, your RSS feed seems to be broken:

I also just started the process of migrating to a self hosted music server. I'm using navidrome, but a big feature I want is being able to easily add custom tags to songs that I can later use to search and filter for what I want. Navidrome will only open your library in read-only, which is a smart security measure, but means it cant support this. I'm going to try Koel next and see how that goes.

I have no idea about Navidrome, but I completely agree with the gist of this article. Actively choose the music you listen to. When the music you've chosen has run out, if you're not motivated to make another choice, let the music stop and enjoy quiet for a while.

I started with Navidrome, then looked at the disk space occupied by my library and it occured to me that 1TB MicroSD cards are a thing now, and I can listen to all my library offline.

Quickly and effortlessly get some music playing that can act as a backdrop for your real activity such as working, driving, cooking, hosting friends, etc. Keep it rolling indefinitely.

“Discover” new music by statistical means based on your average tastes.

This is the main thing I want out of music software tbh.

I use jellyfin for music. Some of the third party apps are nice. I can even stream it to Jellyfin app on Android Audio from my server while I'm driving, which is crazy to me.

Quickly and effortlessly get some music playing that can act as a backdrop for your real activity such as working, driving, cooking, hosting friends, etc. Keep it rolling indefinitely. The particular songs don’t matter much. They are fungible as long as the general mood stays consistent.

can’t relate

i find new awesome music all the time, i only found i loved hardstyle 8 years ago, techno 5 years ago, vaporwave like a year ago

This is a fantastic service if you’re not that interested in music and are just looking for the aural version of mediocre Ikea artwork to cover the bare walls of your day

if you want to make it harder for yourself to discover new music then cool, but don’t imply that because you used spotify as a sort of cafe jazz background radio that we all use it like this

I've been using Navidrome for a few months now. I also use Amplify on my iphone to stream using native controls which I find very useful.

I am actually in the process of setting up my own navidrome server on my proxmox host running on my old desktop hardware.

I was initially inspired by the following post and am very excited to get rid of Spotify.
