Show HN: Synced lyrics database with a free, easy-to-use API
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)

Finally moving to Navidrome... but how to best manage files and metadata?
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.

Musicserver that works with folders, not albums
You could try https://github.com/beetbox/beets but it seemed very manual and extremely slow. I had better luck with Picard.

Ask HN: Flac/MP3 listeners: How do you store/play your music?
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.
- How do you keep your music library organized?

Library Organiser?
If you're technically inclined, there's beets.

anyone else wish this was still a thing?? scrolling album art - ios 6.1.3
You should check out beets.

Is there a faster way to organize music torrents into a specific folder?
Yes, you have the torrent client call beets.io on the folder and have beets configured.

When you use a Walkman the memories come back: the people in love with old tech
My primary way to play music is from my self-hosted navidrome[1] server with my collection of albums I've mostly purchased from bandcamp. I can stream it to many different devices at home or on the go.
But sitting next to my bed is a Walkman (actually a $10 Jensen version) with a few of my favorite cassettes in the nightstand drawer. Granted, I listen to raw black metal, so the format fits the music well, but I really enjoy just popping in a cassette and hitting play. When I "metaltate", I listen to full albums and do not want to ever be interrupted or have skipping audio due to bluetooth or anything else. It is a really simple and great experience.
Would I ever take my walkman with me or want to carry around a bunch of tapes on a trip? Of course not! But it does have a time and place that is valuable.
When friends come over, we use either vinyl or my custom built RFID cards. There is more of a ceremony to digging through a physical stack of albums and being forced to listen to the album front to back.

Ask HN: Managing MP3s on Mac/iOS Without Streaming Services
Basically, you run a server on your Mac that scans your music collection and "broadcasts" it to the network (LAN or WAN) via either the venerable UPnP/DLNA[1] family of technologies or the newish Subsonic API[2]. Of course, there are others, like DAAP or AURA, etc..
From there, you need to point a compatible player to said server to play your music on any supported device.
If you want to listen to your music on the go, pairing a Subsonic-compatible server on your Mac and a Subsonic-compatible app on your iPhone is probably the way to go. On the server side, I have only used the original Subsonic[3], which was good, but Navidrome[4] seems to be OK. But be aware that the whole "scene" is super messy and fragmented, with the usual abandoned forks of open source alternatives of everything.
Note that this means opening your local network, which comes with its own complexity.
This r/selfhosted thread[5] should give you an idea.
My use case is slightly different. I only care about streaming to my Denon CEOL mini system, which only supports UPnP/DLNA, so my current setup is:
- All my music is stored on a 2011 Mac Mini,
- I use Kazoo Server[6] (not perfect but reliable) to stream it to my audio system,
- which I control via the HEOS app provided by Denon.
Whatever stack you choose, make sure your files are tagged correctly and consistently.

.NET 8 Standalone 50% Smaller On Linux
Jellyfin is great for movies & shows. As an anecdote, it's not so good for music if you're a collector. I personally use Navidrome for that[0].
Anyway, Sonarr[1] makes use of .NET, too. Very reliable software, in my experience.
