Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?
> CLI: I wanted to download songs from youtube, but they were often stitched as complete albums - so I wrote a youtube-cue generator that generates cuesheets that can then be used to split and tag the yt-dlp downloaded audio file. (https://github.com/captn3m0/youtube-cue)
Thanks for this! I need to do some testing, this might automate the last manual step of my own script for converting YT mixes into distinct tracks. The problem I faced is that often the timestamps are not in the description, but instead in a comment, sometimes not even the pinned/top voted comment. That is why I paste it in via stdin for now.
As this fits the thread topic, a short description of this script. I enjoy YT mixes and wanted to listen to them in my car. I can use an USB stick with media files and playlists which are displayed decently by the infotainment system. I wrote a script that takes in a YT URL (or anything supported by yt-dlp), downloads & converts it to mp3, splits the mp3 file based on a list of timestamps, recognizes (tries to anyway) the songs via SongRec [0], tags & names the files correctly and finally generates an M3U playlist in the format recognized by my car. I use song recognition instead of parsing out the names from the timestamped list as the format of Artist - Title is nearly always slightly different. It was easier to use SongRec instead and get everything I need for tagging with >90% hit rate.
The heavy lifting is done by calling out to yt-dlp, ffmpeg and SongRec. I just glued them together with Python. I like your approach of a do one thing well and might add youtube-cue to the toolset.

Beets is the media library management system for obsessive music geeks
Beets is amazing and comes with great defaults. I wrote code recently to generate CUE sheets from YouTube mixes[0] and beet imports it nicely and easily.
[0]: https://github.com/captn3m0/youtube-cue There is a bash snippet in readme to show the Beets integration.

Fans quitting Spotify to save their love of music (2022)
Have you tried https://www.funkwhale.audio/?
It can be used effectively as a "private spotify". Labeling is a solved problem thanks to https://picard.musicbrainz.org/, and the fact that a lot of the music you buy these days comes pre-labeled already.
You then have a web-app (and/or a mobile app, if that's your thing) where you can stream music as you would with Spotify.
You can even build yourself a little music-sharing commune with friends, where you all upload the albums you buy and accumulate a nice collection of diverse tunes.

What do you use to tag your music on an NAS (Unraid)?
I use picard for my collection. My work flow is Picard > Lyrics Finder > Foobar for BPM, RealGain and DR > Custom python script to pull genre and mood from Last.FM and spotify> then Advanced Renamer to perform naming clean up of folder names. I lowercase and underscore spaces. Also does files if I happen to need Mp3Tag when Picard doesn't find anything. Once this is done I move files on to may NAS.

The Quest for Semantic Music Tagging Software
Musicbrainz Picard - A great application that I've used in the past to identify and organize my saved music collection. It's not focused on adding semantic tags though: it's used for adding metadata to .mp3 files.

Spotify code suggests HiFi tier is coming with lossless audio for $20 / month
I do the same but run it though Picard[0] before adding to Plex.

Musicserver that works with folders, not albums
feed all of your music to something like 'musicbrainz picard' - it will sort out all the tags and provide the artwork too

Spotify/Youtube Music alternative?
Aside from properly ripping and tagging your own physical collection I'd generally refer you to r/piracy but I think they've gone a bit strange since the blackout. I'm fairly sure anything more specific in that direction would not be appropriate for this subreddit.

(if this is not appropriate for the sub feel free to delete) I'm burning a cd and I'm just wondering what the numbers under the # symbol mean? Thanks in advance.
