even setup our own Slack channel un-affiliated with our workplace because a couple of people have left the company, but wanted to stay in the League. If I have time tonight, I'll list the Themes we've covered as a reply or edit of this comment. Concerning the "Music Piracy" element: I don't really pirate, unless it's some incredibly obscure thing that can only be found on slsk (are we allowed to even mention it's name?). I use a streaming service, but I also buy the really good shit from Bandcamp, since most streaming services are pretty scummy with their royalties back to artists, and I want them to keep doing what they're doing cough AdP cough. I also run my own instance of LMS[0] so my FLAC collection is always available to me wherever I am (which kinda feels like piracy, but the collection is almost all legit). MusicBrainz[1] is also doing god's work. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard took their discography off Spotify for ideological reasons, and I support their decision to follow their morality in doing so, but it does put me in a conundrum due to the phenomenal size of their catalogue. I've bought some, but definitely not all. Just gonna have to grind through it, although they seem to put new music out faster than my monthly purchase quota.

a macOS music player that is very reminiscent of old iTunes, but much better. The information density is so incredibly refreshing after using Apple Music. 5. Everything talks to each other seamlessly over Tailscale [5]. All together, an entire open-source stack maintained by volunteers that easily outdoes Apple's own UX in the music department.

icular hardware dependency. VMs are easily backed up and restorable to ProxMox running on new / different hardware if necessary.

tist, etc. Honestly, I would rather encourage people to properly tag their files rather than spending time on implementing a clunky directory based navigation. - Any info on the recommendation engine? How does it work? Low-level Data is fetched from AcousticBrainz. See an exemple here for a random song: https://acousticbrainz.org/e73f3d92-4e9f-4db4-943a-41978d9db... Some features are extracted for each track (the exact list is here: https://github.com/epoupon/lms/blob/develop/src/database/Sim...) and all these features are used together to classify the tracks. You can find details here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-organizing_map . Once it is done, you get a map with all your tracks in it, and using the underlying SOM you can determine the neighbourhood of a given track. The recommendation engine uses this map. For example, if you want albums that are similar to a particular one, you look for the tracks of the album in the map and you retreive the albums of the tracks that are close to them. - Does musicbrainzId support include id3 tagging? id3 is a tag format used mainly in MP3. LMS reads all the tags using taglib. Therefore it can extract the tags (id3 or whatever) it needs internally (musicbrainz ids, artist, albumartist, date, etc.) as well as custom tags the administrator want too ( albummood, mood, albumgenre, grouping, etc.) Hope that helps!
