  • Show HN: Synced lyrics database with a free, easy-to-use API
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 23 Feb 2024
    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?
    3 projects | /r/selfhosted | 3 Dec 2023
    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?
    6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 5 Jun 2023
    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 aim for "perfect" you'll have to read up on https://musicbrainz.org/ and their software https://picard.musicbrainz.org/ or if you're savvy with the command line you could give https://beets.io/ a go which also uses the musicbrainz database.
  • Better Music Tags
    2 projects | /r/selfhosted | 12 Apr 2023
    Over the years, I've built an extensive music collection and used tools like beets to create a clean folder structure and metadata. There are still some improvements I'd like to make, however. The ID3v2 standard is used to store metadata for audio files and can store additional data that is then used by jellyfin or navidrome or other media players to understand my music better. Currently, I don't really use the following ID3 fields:
