We simply rsync rclone our music onto every device we use to listen to the music.
Windows Media Player can shuffle through the folder.
Life is too short to upload and sort the music comes.
Our music library has about 2000 songs.
They are encoded as MP3 in 128Kbps stereo format.
Everything fits in a 4GB iPod Nano, which is our primary music player.
Copies are in two computers.
I ended up wiping out my entire MP3 music collection, 500GB or so.. I just got very annoyed at the way MP3s sound, most of my collection was 256kbps or 320kbps, still too much missing..
Started over rebuilding my music library, FLAC this time..
My mistake was not keeping a directory.. Slowly re-ripping the discs, but not a high priority.
Most of our files came as 320Kbps WAV files, on discs sold in bookstores.
Around 2002 I converted the discs to 96Kbps WMA files.
I got the iPad Nano in 2013 that does not play WMA, so everything got converted to MP3.
Imagine how horrible that sounds!
I'd rather not...
I don't know of an all in one file management/player solution, but my setup is:
Navidrome docker container running on a Storage VPS as my music player: https://github.com/navidrome/navidrome
Tempo, (Android client), for connecting my phone to Navidrome: https://github.com/CappielloAntonio/tempo
Beets for managing my music library, renaming files, (re)tagging, adding album art etc: https://beets.io/
But I never use Lidarr for downloading music [without a VPN]: https://lidarr.audio/
I would like to find one too
Lol less that, and more that I wanna add tracks that aren't on Spotify. Plus I don't like Spotify that much as it is big tech adjacent.
$11/month? What? Where?
Apple Music
Plex and plexamp
you can now use on a free account
Winamp
Interesting.. I didn't know Apple had a music subscription service, but I don't follow their products.. It is lossless music?
Does it require Apple products to use?
Not sure about the quality on Windows, but there’s a web player (probably limited) as well as this: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9pfhdd62mxs1?hl=en-US&gl=US
Again, not sure about the quality. Web player is in beta I think, and the program linked above is either in beta or just recently out of beta
On my iPhone I can set quality to ’lossless’ and ’hi-res lossless’

Typically, for software subscriptions, Apple is way more lowend then you might think.
Their 50GB storage plan comes with email with 5 (I think) custom domains with IMAP and SMTP access for example.
They’re really serious about increasing their ”SaaS” part.
Interesting.. Something I need to explore further..
I've tried to install Navidrome on a server w/ 512 MB RAM, 20 GB storage. I follow tutorials online (like this one) and everything in the install process seems fine, except I am unable to log in at my IP and the assigned port. What server specs do you recommend/are required?
This is my docker compose. It should just run, assuming the Ports and Volumes sections are appropriately adjusted, with the command: docker compose up -d from the directory the file is saved in.
The API keys let Navidrome pull popular/related artists from LastFM and Artist images from Spotify. They're both free accounts and accept junk emails, but the Environment section can also just be deleted if not required.
