I'm currently using icecast and ices to host a music stream. It'll effectively stream music to a port, and multiple clients can enjoy. Anyone doing something similar, I'd like to migrate to something more modern.

I have 700 via those tools but then my current Spotify/Apple Music list must be close to 1500 and I shudder at the thought of hunting the rest of 800 down on P2P here and there. So I was wondering is there a way to do it in one shot or few shots as a batch/automated process.
The „starr“ Apps generally allow importing lists to automatically hunt down the items on P2P and upgrade your local versions if better qualities are found. I’m not sure if it directly supports Spotify/Apple Music lists though.

#103I tried this (among a bunch of others) about a year ago and landed on Gonic[1] for the server and Supersonic[2] on PC and Amperfy[3] on mobile. Yes it's a few different tools to maintain (plus beets etc), but it's the ideal set of features etc for me. Self-hosting has been fun and I've started experimenting with local LLMs to build playlists which is helping discoverability.. or more /rediscovering/ artists that I ha…

#104I run multiple minidlna instances in Podman and let BubbleUPNP connect to them through Wireguard. Getting the multicast discovery to work was a bit challenging.
Any tutorial or links on this?

#105I run Jellyfin and Symfonium. Symfonium isn't free but it is feature filled and it seems to be a passion for the Dev. All for other options in this area as it has taken me a few goes at finding something that works for me. Usually it is the client that is lacking.
What I really like about Symfonium compared to other subsonic clients is that it keeps the db locally.

On Android I've been using Symfonium which is fantastic. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.symfonik.m...

Back in the days, there was a service called what.cd, which was really nice for music discovery. You had very dedicated music fans, great forums and a daily top 10 of most downloaded music. For many it was the fastest way of finding new interesting stuff. I've heard rumors this kind of services still exist, but we never know if it's just an urban legend.
RED and OPS are sadly not even a faint and distant shadow of WCD.

OK, I will ask. I presume you purchased all those music files that you host on that certain server, didn’t you? I will also assume that there is no tool that lets you acquire music MP3s (or some appropriate file type which is non-audiophile listenable) the Linux ISO way (without having to hunt them songs one by one), right? I am talking about someone already having a Spotify/apple music playlists/likes/favourites. Al…
Self hosted music service doesn't necessarily imply new music discovery problems, because a lot of people still discover music the old non-algorithmic way, by being interested in certain genres, studying labels and artists and going through their albums, adding to their collection what they would love to hear again. Buying and owning the song/album somehow brings me more satisfaction than paying a monthly fee for a s…

Why did you chose gonic over navidrome[1]? My stack [2] is: navidrome (music - subsonic server) substreamer (app) beets (music organization) EAC (audio cd ripping) audiobookshelf (audiobooks) Most important part of navidrome are smart playlists[3], with these I didn't need AI support just yet... 1: https://www.navidrome.org/ 2: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40470630 3: https://github.com/navidrome/navidrome/is…
I have chosen jelly over it because of the way navi stores music. I prefer to organize music in folders myself, and tag them with picard. Jelly then just shows everything nicely with 0 configuration.
Re: Blackcandy: Self hosted music streaming server
#110It used to all be hosted on a heavily ad plastered Drupal site, but I took it down a few years ago, because reasons.
I would like to make the archive available to the public, it would be such a waste to delete it. When I write available, I mean via a website. This blackcandy seems to be private only, requiring auth.
I would also prefer if the shows were streamed not directly downloaded, to keep bandwidth down, if you know what I mean.
Does software for this use case exist?
