Personally, I just use Spotify to descover songs.
If I didn't care about tracking or privacy, I would use it every day because its the best in music recommendations.

I can't experience this easily. Have a really small demo tier or a demo account, say with public domain classical and jazz standards, just something basic. The demo tier could be phone number based, then a write once system, let's say 100mb ... something really token. You could even have a few sample tunes everyone gets by default. Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin is in public domain for instance as are say, the r…
That is a great idea. I definitely need a demo page.
oh i see you do have a 14 day demo ... it wasn't clear to me. that's a design issue. You need to push the lede up.
"Free 2 week demo. No credit card needed. [Try it now]"
"Register" is too committal ... try things like "get started" or "try it out" - more action, result and experience oriented.
Lastly on the technicals, look into https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaSessio...
this will allow you to navigate through things when listening over bluetooth using the media buttons. I'm sorry for the rather advanced example but here's how I use it to navigate through hierarchy with double and triple tapping: https://github.com/kristopolous/music-explorer/blob/master/w...

#193I run Roon on my Synology and couldn't be happier. Finally a service where I pay for the software being developed and I'm not a product. Works very well and doesn't try to sell me new crap all the time.

#194I tried to make this after Google Play Music died, but I never found any success. Here's my site. You can try it for free: https://inter.tube It supports almost all of Subsonic (highly recommend play:Sub on iOS). FLAC works. I never re-encode your songs, they are kept byte-for-byte. It doesn't support Last.fm (yet?) but I don't think it would be too hard to add. It respects metadata tags. There are still some glitche…

#195Roon: a very promising service, but one geared more towards the audiophile audience and with hardware requirements I'm not interested in investing in at this point. If you've spent all of the time and effort to put your audio collection on local storage that's also encrypted and mirrored, you are the audiophile audience! Roon is a great option. I don't really understand OP's objection? Roon supports over 800 differen…
I also got stuck on that same part. I'm just going to guess they thought there was a requirement to run the Roon server on a Nucleus (the premium hardware they sell to host Roon). I personally run mine on my NAS in a docker container and it's been running great for years.
Re: I don't want streaming music, I just want to stream my music
#196OK, serious question - why stream the music? Why not just sync between your computer and phone once a day or week or however often you obtain new music? Then if you don’t have a network connection, you can still listen to all of your music. Is the issue storage space? I did this with an iPod for years before the iPhone came out and it worked really well.

ok tried it out.
I don't think I'm your customer here.
I think the parting advice I can give is . The interface and experience defines this relationship. We shape our buildings and thereafter they shape us or the interface sets the terms of the engagement or the medium is the message. It's been stated a myriad of ways.
I kinda hated "Selling the invisible" by Harry Beckwith but out of the 100 or so marketing and product development books I've read, I think, for you in particular, a weekend paging through that book might really help you here. You have to read it as an analogy of how to design software of course.
Re: I don't want streaming music, I just want to stream my music
#198I don't understand why every digital music player cannot read shared files over a LAN, you have to set up a "server" for it to see them. Why do I need a server? Why can't it just read the !@#$%^&* files? After all, if I put the files on a usb stick it can read/play them. It's not impossible, either, as the ancient Turtlebeach Audiotron could do just that. P.S. I'd also pay for a Roku app that can read and display PDF…
I think there’s an app on Apple TV that can play files over smb. VLC does thats as well. I have macs and can play anything from my diy nas over smb as well. But I use Logitech Media Server, because I can control it from my phone, my tablet and my computers. And play through almost every speaker I have (airplay).
VLC works better with a DLNA server. Then you get to drill down by tag metadata rather than plain FS navigation.

This is easy to answer: my music collections add up to about 400 GB now. Phones are pretty stingy with storage, it just won't fit.
My solution is to have a pretty serious 20 GB/month data bundle, run Wireguard and some additional hackery so that the BubbleUPNP app on my phone can use multicast to discover some MiniDLNA/ReadyMedia containers running in my switchboard cabinet, and stream my collections that way.

where do you notice performance suffering? hosting a 30k+ track navidrome library on a modest server and haven't noticed any slowdowns
In two places. The web client takes _minutes_ to load the artist page. It's slow enough that I get the Firefox warning stating that the page is slowing down Firefox. The web client (seemingly) doesn't load the song/tracklist in chunks and attempts to load every song at once(at least on the artist page). The second issue isn't specifically a "Navidrome" problem, but every iOS and Mac desktop client I've used(and I've…
