MusicPlayerPlus VS beets

MusicPlayerPlus 2.0.1 release 3 differs substantially from release 2. I'm proud of the work I've done for this release and wanted to share it with the Arch community. Release 3 consists of 112 commits to 119 files and 23 new files including 3 new commands and 6 new backend scripts most of which are designed to provide increased support for multiple platforms, Arch Linux being one of the two new platforms MusicPlayerPlus is being built, tested, and packaged for. See https://github.com/doctorfree/MusicPlayerPlus/compare/v2.0.1r2...v2.0.1r3 for more detailed information on the changes included in release 3 over release 2.

With MusicPlayerPlus, you can stream and play music through several audio packages integrated and extended from its project. MusicPlayerPlus’s initial interaction is with the Music Player Daemon (MPD).

Download the latest Debian, Arch, or RPM package format release for your platform.

MusicPlayerPlus is a character-based console and terminal window music player and media management system.

Version 1.0.3 release 1 of MusicPlayerPlus is now available at the project release page on github. MusicPlayerPlus release assets include Debian format packages for amd64 and armhf architectures (Ubuntu/etc and Raspberry Pi) and an RPM format package for x86_64 architecture (Fedora/etc).

mpcplus, featureful ncurses based Music Player client

I was always frustrated that there is no solid source for synced lyrics that also offers decent API support. There is good ol' Crintsoft's MiniLyrics that is thankfully free software, was what I used a lot in my childhood, but unfortunately the API is highly obfuscated. Another popular choice is the Musixmatch API, which has a very large database of synced lyrics, but with "free" API that are reverse-engineered from their app, you will quickly run into rate-limit.

That's why I created LRCLIB. It's aimed to provide completely free synchronized lyrics for everyone, especially for FOSS music players, with zero profit intention. It currently has nearly 3,000,000 (not deduplicated) lyrics in database. You can also contribute to the database by adding and syncing lyrics for your favorite songs using the LRCGET client.

I'm trying my best to make LRCLIB server-side code open-source as soon as possible. But right now, full LRCLIB's database dumps have already been uploaded regularly and publicly, which are simply sqlite3 files. Feel free to download, look at or do anything you want with the database at https://lrclib.net/db-dumps.

Many open-source projects have already begun integrating LRCLIB, including:

- beets - music library metadata management (https://github.com/beetbox/beets)

I just ssh onto my server and use beets to remotely organize my navidrome collection and edit metadata. Beets has lots of auto-tagging features and I rarely need to edit anything manually. Works great if you are ok with using the command line.

You could try https://github.com/beetbox/beets but it seemed very manual and extremely slow. I had better luck with Picard.

Honestly? I use https://beets.io/ to organise all my FLAC on my NAS.

I expose the /Music directory over NFC.

I use https://kodi.tv/ to stream music to my amp. I manually pick the album I want to listen to.

Kodi also has a fairly reasonable web UI.

Keep it simple.

If you're technically inclined, there's beets.

You should check out beets.

Yes, you have the torrent client call beets.io on the folder and have beets configured.
