Maybe there’s more too it, but I really don’t get the last note about Tidal: Essentially, if you use Tidal, you should know the CEO is has a large ego and is a crypto bro.
I’m sure he’s very annoying, but I’m not inviting him to my house for dinner.

benni@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It is, the songs Lateralus and Reflection are both from the Lateralus album.

I really want to do this, but I have yet to find a self-hosted app that has the features from iTunes that I love: smart playlists (with an easy to edit interface), play stats (last played, last skipped, play counts skip count), and editable metadata (can change genres of the a song or several songs within the app).
Easily editable smart playlists would be table stakes for me. I can get by without the rest, though I’d be less happy than with iTunes.

I use Plexamp and the smart playlists are pretty great on that.
remon@ani.social 3 weeks ago
Plex has almost all of that.
It’s only missing last skipped and skip count and you’ll need to use the desktop/web app for editing of metadata.

I have found that navidrome (uses subsonic as a base API ) covers a bunch of these. It has a web app to interact with it but because it uses subsonic it can work with any subsonic music app. Navidrome also has smart playlist support but no current UI (supposed to be on the way) to set it up so of you’re comfortable with file editing via terminal you’ll probably be fine
Mobile I use symfonium which does have smart playlist support which you configure yourself. It can get quite involved depends on how “smart” you want to get. But it’s an offline first app. So will cache songs to your phone to play them. Any ratings or favourites or playlists you make can get pushed back to navidrome via subsonic to your server. It also has android auto support which was a Biggie for me. Only downside is it costs £5 but it’s a one off payment not a subscription. Worth the cost in my mind.
For desktop I like to use a foss app called feishin, just prefer the UI to navidrome

I have over 4000 songs just in one playlist on my phone. I’ve never used a streaming app.
I try and find new music via Fediverse, Tiny Desk series, music acts from shows like: SNL, Tonight Show, etc. And of course I’ll check Billboard top charts once in a while.

For those that are streaming their own collection, I highly recommend scrobbling to ListenBrainz for discovery.
MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Ty. I’ll take a look.

Which places can you recommend in the fediverse?
MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Just a couple on my subscription list. I’m sure there’s plenty others.

What about torrents or something? It used to be so big. And now I don't see a lot of music anymore. Everybody went to steaming service, it's awful.

Slsk, search for it. Best kept secret. Note that some bigger artists have their libraries blocked from search via dcma, so you will need to search by partial artist name or album name instead, but it’s voluminous. Musical library of Alexandria.
MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
There’s definitely torrent sites.
Even a certain famous pirate still has a site.

Finding music is one thing. How to you get it to your phone as a file?
Darkenfolk@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Download it and transfer it to your device?
If you know the artist and/or the song title you can simply download it via torrents, usernet or some collection on a website. Got Spotify? Even easier.
MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Personally, despite the hate for YT… maybe it works in FOSS replicants, I use a YouTube MP3 converter.
After I have several conversion downloads, I email them to myself and save to phone memory.

I like streaming apps for discovering new music. I have over 10k songs on Plex/jellyfin. As I listen on Spotify, I download to there
cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 3 weeks ago
10k is quite a lot if you (at leas somewhat) handpick them and download them individually. I currently have about 4k songs saved on my PC, but I dont know most of them due to the fact, that I download them in bulk, since I was able to get my hands on the entire discographies of two labels that I like. One had 3k songs sorted in 150 Albums across 15 years. The other label had 1k songs. Dont know how many albums those are, or from how many years, since I havent been able to index all of them in a database to check what metadata they have.
