beets VS automatic-ripping-machine

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.

This project still seems alive to my pleasant surprise.

I never had it fully working because the last time I tried, I was too focused on using VMs or Docker and not just dedicating a small, older computer to it, but I think about it often and may finally just take the time to set up a station to properly rip all the Columbia House CDs I bought when I was a teen and held on to.

Ok. It was actually software as well: https://github.com/automatic-ripping-machine/automatic-ripping-machine

I really like ARM (automatic ripping machine)

https://github.com/automatic-ripping-machine/automatic-rippi...

Put a DVD/blu ray in a drive and it automatically determines the title, starts ripping, then pops the disc out when it's done.

There's options for post-ripping transcoding also.

It's a pain to get set up initially, but the Automatic Ripping Machine[1] plus Jellyfin/Plex/etc[2] makes for a great combination.

I have a lot of DVDs that I would like to rip and then convert into mkv files. Many of these are small productions that aren't likely to be on "Linux ISO" trackers, so "just download them instead!" is not a valid option. I just recently came across posts like this one and this one and even this one here on DataHoarder (which sadly didn't get any responses) and this one from this past week about this awesome GitHub project called Automatic Ripping Machine that is based on this original post from 2016, but I'm happy to see that it has been getting updates even within the last few weeks.

To lump on to abcde, its used to great effect within ARM.
