ncmpcpp VS whipper

well, https://github.com/ncmpcpp/ncmpcpp has 1.8k stars, and my project, IMO, is a humble attempt at making a better version of that

ncmpcpp

Nevermind, Azlyrics changed the html tags so the lyric_fetchers was simply fetching blank. This PR takes care of it. I simply build the the branch with the commit and everything is working. Expect to see it in the next few upstream release

Sadly that's an old bug, occuring when the mpd config is faulty: https://github.com/ncmpcpp/ncmpcpp/issues/147

An alternative Emacs client for MPD is Mingus (although i myself use the standalone ncurses client ncmpcpp).

The little one at the bottom right is mako, the music player is ncmpcpp and the music visualiser is cava

If you want to stream audio from a service like Spotify or SoundCloud, I can recommend Mopidy as a backend with a commandline frontend like ncmpcpp.

Finding a good CD drive to rip them is the first step.

IME Discogs had the track data most often.

And obviously rip to flac

I have a music library on my home server that I use mopidy to play via the iris plugin integrated into my home assistant UI. It plays over Snapcast which streams over the network to multiple devices in the home with independent volume control. I can fire up the Snapcast client in my phone to get it going there as well, which does work over vpn if I'm away, though I generally just fire up the files from my phones SD card for out-of-home listening. I recently started using whipper on Linux to extract audio from craigslist cds.

It's a Linux app that does CD Ripping. It runs in command line and can basically be semi automatic. https://github.com/whipper-team/whipper

A drive to read CDs and Whipper (automatic bit-perfect checks, conversion to FLAC, and playlist file creation)

(eg. It's the first listed option for Whipper, which is the closest open-source alternative to Exact Audio Copy and a Python project with a ton of C dependencies... and I say this as someone who dislikes Docker enough that I still went through the hassle of the "Building" section.)
