koel VS beets

Koel Music Server (https://github.com/koel/koel) Opensource music server, nice GUI and allows high fidelity streaming of all your music files

You could take a look at koel. I don’t see it suggested that often. The iOS app is open source, but cost $9.99 on the App Store (one time purchase, not a subscription).

Koel. It's simple, it works out of the box, is ready to use despite low effort setup.

Koel - stream your music collection. A little tough to setup and the android app is a little buggy, but the best interface I've seen for such an app (lmk if you know pretty alternatives).

koel looks nice and comes with native apps too.

Koel

while Jellyfin is great for video, i have found its music streaming to be lacking... i prefer to use Koel ( https://github.com/koel/koel ) it only supports a single library of music, but it does pretty much exactly what i want it to; and it has a native (at least android, not sure about ios) mobile client, all open source. its great.

I would like to install koel on a Digital Ocean droplet. However, I have not found their instructions to be very helpful regarding the installation of prerequisites. One article gave some suggestions, but they were out of date or otherwise incompatible.

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.
