beatlocker VS beets

Heh, what a coincidence. I was noticed the Android player Symfonium announced support for OpenSubsonic and the first link is this HN topic created less than an hour ago.

I might add support for it in the Subsonic server I wrote (mostly for personal use). https://github.com/datatrash/beatlocker

Ah, very interesting to read about Subsonic being used here. I was in the market for a similar setup a while ago and tried a bunch of different servers. Navidrome was clearly one of the better ones but didn't seem to support folder-based navigation, which I want to use (since most of my music is not structured as album-per-folder but rather as playlist-per-folder).

Like a good HN user I ended up writing my own Subsonic compatible server [0]. Haven't officially released it yet since it's missing a few features (most notably documentation and support for deleting files) but looks like it might be worthwhile to spend that effort. If you're feeling brave, you can compile it from source or grab the Docker edge image[1].

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.
