Musicserver that works with folders, not albums
Gonic seems to be the most active fork of Subsonic that supports browsing via folders, but there's no Windows support. I'm considering running it via Docker on my Windows server but haven't had a chance to look into the pros/cons of that. Curious if anyone here can shed some light on this for me

My simple Music Stack
I've always thought of that one to be more useful when e.g. using gonic, which comes with out a web interface (and seems pretty awesome overall, although I have never tried it myself since I'm quite happy with Navidrome).
- Is there a size limit for music libraries? I've let it scan my library of 20.2TB (765k tracks) 2 days ago (and disabled all the metadata/art fetching stuff). It went to 96% fairly quickly and now it took the entire day to go from 96.8% to 96.9% and the application has become very sluggish.

What kind of applications are missing from the Linux ecosystem?
Just wanted to give quick plug for my music player app Supersonic! It's a client for Subsonic API-compatible servers, so it handles the UI and playback while the server (Gonic or LMS would be good lightweight choices for localhost-only setup) handles the library management/metadata indexing. It's a quite young project but I have lots of plans for continued improvement and new features (and would gladly accept contributions)!

[Advice request] DIY Airplay / Bluetooth receiver with RPi or ESP32 or ?
I built an Airplay receiver with RPi (+SPDIF out) using Volumio but it takes for ever to boot and often does not work, the mpd daemon crashes somehow (it reindex all the audio files on boot) I read about https://github.com/sle118/squeezelite-esp32 but I don't know about boot times.

esp32 flashing with squeezelite-esp32
...and so on. I've completely erased the device before attempting to write flash memory, and have confirmed that it's 100% written. Have tried at low baud rate, with multiple micro-USB cables, and have tried using both windows PC and my macbook, all with the same results. I've also tried the whole gamut of possible firmwares from the repo. First board was a TTGO T8 V1.8 ESP32 board, second one a generic ESP32-WRover Dev board from amazon. Any tips on flashing with this firmware? Or any recommendations of a wrover dev board that may give me less trouble?

esp32-audio-kit
I got one of the AI thinker esp32-A1S audio kits (https://docs.ai-thinker.com/en/esp32-audio-kit) which I was hoping to run as a DAC for a logitech media server using squeezelite-esp32. Apparently these boards are quite finicky and a bit challenging to flash, but having tried all the obvious fixes and various ideas that duckduckgo had to offer, I'm still stuck in a boot loop. I've got dedicated power going into USB1 and connected to a USB-C port on my MacBook via USB2. I've tried with the dip switches all up, all down, and in the default 3 up / 2 down configuration, each time erasing the flash memory completely before trying to load the squeezelite-esp32 binary. Using ESPHome-Flasher, I get the following dialogue:

Yet another DT770 internal Bluetooth conversion!
In theory yes, but it is more of a 'whole summer project' than 'one evening project'. There are small ESP32 Wi-Fi modules that could be connected to small I2S headphones amplifier. Both should fit inside bigger cups like DT770 has if you remove acoustic padding. You also would have to build custom dock for mixing audio inputs, converting them to digital and pushing data through Wi-FI, possibly also ESP32 based with external ADCs. The hardest part will be writing custom code to glue it all together. There are some ESP32 Wi-Fi streaming libs like: https://github.com/sle118/squeezelite-esp32 This would be a good starting point, but the amount of customisation to achieve what you described will be non-trivial. Battery life of headphones would not be stellar either, ESP modules are more suited to be used in smart home appliances powered from the grid. I'd guess about 3 hours with 750mAh battery while streaming over Wi-Fi.

Let's make a definitive guide to the subtle differences in Self Hosted Music Streaming.
Squeezelite has also been ported to the ESP32, so one could probably create (or recreate) the old Logitech/Slim Devices hardware clients, VFD displays and all.

Speaker similar to Sonos One but without the... Sonos
Here's what I'm looking for: * Powered speaker of similar form factor/aesthetic as the (white) Sonos One. Must look nice (aesthetic is as important as sound quality). * Ideally would have an amp per speaker. Most bookshelf's have a single amp in one speaker with amplified sound run via speaker wire to the other. Would prefer to not have this. But, worst case, I could buy a couple sets and use the powered speakers where I can't run speaker wire, and have a pair of passive speakers for a room where I can. Not the end of the world. * Speakers that are better for sourceless, far-field listening. Most bookshelfs in this vein seem tailored to near field listening. * Have digital input so I can go cheap/small on the squeezeplayer setup (would love to use the ESP32 squeezelite) without worrying about audio quality (either DAC or amplification).
