TIL that Jonathan Bree, which I thought I only knew from his "You're so cool" single, sings with Princess Chelsea on this silly and wonderful song that I very much loved when I heard it 15 years ago https://youtu.be/4TV_128Fz2g?is=gyI7J_yxQecggEEH
I know that my flow will not be for everyone.
I have a very similar experience to OP, but I quit Spotify more than three years ago.
For music "acquisition", I use bandcamp, qobuz and soulseek. Then stream it using Navidrome.
For music discovery, Bandcamp has weekly shows and I listen a couple of them. I listen to online radio during work, mainly NTS, KEXP, FluxFM, and SomaFM. I'm also subscribed to the KEXP channel on YouTube for live performances.
Wow. Just finished setting it up and tagged 2 Ɣlbuns. From slskd to Picard to Navidrome. This really makes my life easier.
Thank you very much kind stranger!!!
I heard something similar regarding the outfits, but it was because they had 2 gigs in a row at the same bar and on the second night they decided to dress up to fool their friends
That makes a lot of sense and I also like the idea of having apps on the browser. I might take your approach to create a VM and spin it up whenever I need it. Thx.
My experience is similar to a lot of people here. I see that we've all had our hurdles over the decades while moving OS's and I've used many of the apps mentioned here (Windows/Linux). I couple of years ago i decide to stream my music because i was already into self-hosting and i really needed to properly tag my music for whatever server app I would use.
I always had my music structured by folder, i was using desktop apps for playback so it kinda worked for me. But i wanted to have better tagging. I had already used kid3 and picard but it lacked automation so I used beets for the albums on my collection (about 12K of songs). It wasn't perfect but the software is not blame and it was a great way to tag automatically and move files for a consistent folder structure to match my needs.
Right now, since i don't add music all the time ( a couple per week) i mainly stick to picard to tag new albums. it has 3 actions to manage the files on disk (move, rename, tag), I have script rules for naming files (if required) and i use the ReplayGain plugin. But I also have to point out that the learning curve of picard is rather high, the UI is a mess and it took me a really long time to understand how it works or where the options are.
After trying airsonic for a while i moved to Navidrome and have been using symfonium (android) and Feishin (desktop). It's the best experience I've had since i started listening to music on my pc (199...6/7).
Regarding the source files, it lives on a disk and is backed up to another disk, managed on openmediavault.
Just thought I'd also comment that beets does not have a metadata index, it relies on Musicbrainz for metadata fetching. There are also plugins for other services like Bandcamp or Spotify.
IT worker, close to 50 years old, only ever could afford low-mid range tech, gamer. Been using windows for over 30 years and linux for 8. Linux works better than windows and it allowed me to improve my tech skills beyond a desktop machine.
This is how I started.
I have a dynamic IP and a router provided by my ISP. IP assignations, DHCP, are managed by the router.
I went with DuckDNS for a free DNS service. Select a name and you get a myname.duckdns.org that you need to assign to your dynamic IP. duckdns has instructions to create a cronjob to update your dynamic IP on duckdns.org.
(Routers come in all shapes and configs, chances are that this won't work for most people)
On the router, I assigned a static IP to the server hosting Jellyfin, in case of a reboot Jellyfin would always have the same IP. On the Ports page I opened up the default port for Jellyfin at that IP. I could then access Jellyfin outside of my local network using myname.duckdns.org:1234
This is not what I have right now, but it helped my get started.
Been doing this for years, I've mostly relied on the player for info on the music.
I'm already 10 years ahead on this. I'm gonna outlive you all
I just did this 2 days ago and it worked as expected
Proxmox really helped in improving my homelab needs and I only really have about 10 apps hosted.
What is Trebel? Their page is very vague and doesn't really offer an explanation

I't don't think it's supposed to be depressing but I wouldn't consider it happy music.

Why docker though? The desktop app is available on all OS's.

You can use the https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/plugins/lastgenre.html plugin to write genres
Hell fucking yeah
Muy bien. She has a really nice voice.

Firefox has a "reader" mode and it may not work for all sites but on this one it allows you to read the whole text
