Cool, but does it scrobble?
kew does not scrobble. It does not track any of your listening habits or anything else for that matter.

#42Trying to nix run it I get a ton of insecure warnings and it lists the CVEs Is this a nix thing (i'm unsure what freeimage-unstable is) error: Package ‘freeimage-unstable-2021-11-01’ in /nix/store/20yis5w6g397plssim663hqxdiiah2wr-source/pkgs/development/libraries/freeimage/default.nix:72 is marked as insecure, refusing to evaluate.

"Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Freeimage v3.18.0 allows attacker to cause a denial of service via a crafted JXR file."
I don't know how relevant these vulnerabilities are to kew, which isn't run across the network in any way, it just reads your local files.
Thank you for bringing this to light. I don't know how feasible it is to use something other than freeimage though, gonna have to investigate.

#43I love the idea. My music is now 50% cloud only, 50% on disk. I mean, its 100% in the cloud, i just have local files for half available. Ive been thinking about self hosting some music provider thingy (or even just supporting ssh via my dyndns-like capability) to my NAS and bringing music back to self owned files. However, it is work to do when the internet is pretty reliable, costs are low, etc. Those who love this…
I have a airsonic (fork of subsonic, which I used for a long time) server running on a vps. I’ve probably had this for coming on 20 years now. It works phenomenally. At some point I was going to mirror it locally, but never got around to it. It is all backed up in dropbox
I've also been a long time airsonic (and now airsonic-advanced) user for so long I can't even remember, but a couple years ago I switched to navidrome which is also subsonic compatible and it's sooo much nicer.
Use whatever you want! Just wanted to suggest it.

#44Earlier quoted context omitted.
Nice, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Currently, I use navidrome[1], which not really is a player but more a music server, but since it supports the "subsonic" protocol, you can use native apps to connect and manage your stuff (substreamer for android / iOS is all I really need but navidrome also comes with a handy web interface). It also has support for json based smart playlists[2]. 1: https://www.navidrome.org/…
That looks like it checks most of my boxes, but I have a personal/philosophical objection to running a service. The objection is, I don't want to[0]. I just want a local application. Not local-first, I want local-only. Just an application. [0] and also I think it's insane to add that much complexity to something that is single-user.
I'm also a navidrome user and I run it via docker exposed via traefik so I can access my music anywhere. I can use any subsonic client on android or iOS and I can bluetooth that to my car or headphones or whatever and I can load it up on my laptop anywhere.
As you've said you just want a local application just wanted to mention that in case that's actually something that might also be useful for you.

Good point. Might be better to just have the commands installing the requirements for the different distros, in the readme.

Super weird to bring Windows into this, but, anyway? I actually really like these one liners even if they have greater potential for abuse.

It's not weird to mention the other os where downloading and blindly double-clicking a naked exe is the standard.

He's right actually the quick-install script is pretty barbaric.
