how are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days?
-
My problem is that I cannot find a selfhosting solution that has the nuts to spool up 80k+ hi-res, original sourced, flac files that reside on two 10TB drives through my ancient technology. MusicBee is the closest thing I've come across, but that is local, and it struggles. I stay around the compound now days so local is ok, but it would be nice to stream out on the back porch without cranking my stereo to 11 so I can hear. I have bluetooth options but range is an issue.
Try Ampache! I host 75k files with it.

Can't recommend symfonium enough it's really great even better then plexamp
It looks really good indeed, and I don't mind at all to pay for apps (I pay for FairEmail)... however it is very strange for me to add a nonfree app to the list I use every day... everything else is open source.

I have just set up Navidrome from the first time and I'm using Feishin as my Linux desktop client. I installed it via nix because it isn't in the Fedora repos as far as I could tell
I did use Feishin for a while, it's an excellent music player but unfortunately not a native program. I might switch back to it from Tauon though, as actually playing the whole song before going to the next is a pretty nice upgrade hehe
-
I currently host Navidrome, which has an okay web player. On Android I use "Tempo" (though it is unmaintained) to connect to it, and on Linux I use Tauon (though it has very poor playback). I could not find a native Linux client that is not buggy unfortunately, so I'm also on the lookout for better solutions!
I'm not familiar with the device you are talking about but every client I tried supports MPRIS, which are the regular media controls that can be used via theplayerctlcommand, so you should be able to hook things up that way.wrote on last edited by [email protected]Have you had problems on android with tempo not continuing playback?
I also run navidrome, and have tried tempo, substreamer, and another client I can't think of, and any of the clients that stream keep stopping playback after one song when the screen is locked.
I've given the client all the permissions for running in the background and using battery that I can and no matter what I do, it'll just stop after one song.
I'm on a pixel 7a with gOS.
For now I've settled on Poweramp with tla selection of the music on my phone since I can't fit it all in storage. Its been really frustrating.

thanky kindly for keeping me from having to duck duck go this beast!

pixel7a gOS gang rise up!

right now I'm trying a dedicated Jellyfin instance for audio only (bought the lifetime emby subscription before i learned about jellyfin, so video is elsewhere) but having trouble finding a good client that could run on the guts of an old autonomic MMS2A. That device has an analog and digital output, which with the normal OS treated as two separate sources. is that something anyone else has tinkered with? the original plan was to just run a kodi instance with the jellyfin addon, but im not sure if this has the horsepower to run kodi, and certainly not two at once! (4gb of ram max for this beast.
i need it to be remotely controllable, it'd be cool to have easy playlist management/backup that other devices could see, and potentially an android client if possible?
I've dabbled with the "____sonic" ecosystem back before i was really good at linux, and struggled a bunch, before giving up without anything real to show for it.
just curious if anyone else has been down this road successfully!
thanks for this community, my scrolling stops INSTANTLY when i see a post from here.
(oh my music server is a truenas SMB share, hosted in a proxmox vm! not opposed to putting a big SSD in this device if local music would make things easier)
Hosted with Jellyfin, for clients I use Symfonium on Android and Feishin on desktop.
-
I just torrent the sht out of it. And put it on a USB stick. And plug it into my car. That's it.
old school. tried and true. network agnostic. love it!
-
Music folder on a network share. Navidrome and plex and jellyfin all have access to that library, then pick your poison for the client app. Plex is also DLNA enabled so my dumber AVR can access it too. I mostly use tempo app on android though. I'm a pinch, I can use navidromes web UI player to listen. The plex and jellyfin are mainly just a backup and overkill cause I can't make up my mind.
ooolala i didn't think about a gauntlet to the death!
-
They're available in Soulseek! Both Soulseek and Ampache share the same directory. I was thinking of creating a torrent, but I am still in the process of deduplicating them, so I decided against it.
slsk and nicotine+ have been so cool for so long!
i feel bad when im likely destroying someone's uploads because i found a hidden treasure of FLACs from some older or obscure artists
-
I use Music assistant , an add on for Home Assistant. All managed in the home assistant app and played through my sonos speakers. Its great
when i first saw and played with music assistant i was absolutely amazed for a bit. the ability to sling tunes to any device that can be seen on the network with all metadata available on a home assistant (adjacent) dashboard? sign me up! i was thrilled at the audiobook/podcast support as well. able to tie in tidal and local music with announcement capabilities.. just awesome!
i can't remember the exact reason why but it didn't quite work perfectly for me, as far as "checking all the boxes"
the companion app wasn't quite designed to be a music source and would stop playing if screen was locked for a few seconds? on webpage it is like, constantly spamming KDE connect to continue playing, even when sending to another device.
i am following music assistant for sure though!

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Ultrasonic works fine for me, on my pixel9 with Navidrome. Plays in the background just fine as well.

if you can, don't be afraid to pull some wires! i come from a low-voltage background, and am getting ready to run some cabling for distributed audio.
found some old control4 gear that can be controlled directly from Home Assistant, no control4 processor required!
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Hello fellow hass/mass user. Also, what sort of low voltage?
Fire/security alarms? Or access control? (Or both)?
I do both, as well as CCTV.
-
Why do I see no mentions of Ampache here? From what I found, it was the only program except Navidrome to support nested smart playlist, and Ampache has the editor directly in the web interface.
Anyways, I host mine too! Over 2TB of music files on my server, and it runs pretty well.
Damn, and I thought my 30k plus tracks was pretty large. I use Navidrome as a server and slskd as well
-
2TB? How!
Currently sat on 5GB across 920 files
I'm close to a TB myself. For me, I'm a bit of a "completionist" and can't stand having just 2 or 3 tracks from an entire album. Every track I have is accompanied by the rest of the album it was released on.
Sure, it means there are some duplicates at times, but it's worth it to me.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Same. There are some tracks and albums I don't like, but I won't delete them. Another reason to use smart playlist, I can just put them into "Not My Style" playlist and it's magically gone from my main list.

My favorite use case for MASS is my desktop PC, in our bedroom, has a decent 5.1 sound system, and is running squeezelite.
I have an alarm automation that starts playing from the random 500 playlist.
When my phone connects to my car's Bluetooth, it transfers the queue to my phone, which is running snapcast on a VPN.
When my phone disconnects from my Bluetooth, and I am at home, it transfers any queue from my phone back to my desktop.
If I'm not at home it just stops the music, otherwise it'll start playing through the phone speakers.
While at work, I'll use Ultrasonic rather than music assistant, because my data inside my work area is sporadic, and not conducive to a good musical experience with how MASS streams.

people speak highly of this one. I'll have to do a little research

holy shit this is the kind of stuff that piques my interest! Flawless location hopping eh? is this descended from the old Logitech platform? will CERTAINLY look into this
