What kind of issues are you experiencing with Jellyfin? It has worked perfectly for me, but I see the sentiment repeated many times so I guess it's not that uncommon to experience issues. I run it via Docker, mount volumes like I do with other media types, and add properly tagged music in an Artist/Album directory hierarchy. No special tweaking.

I'm not the person you were replying to, but the only issue I ever had using Jellyfin for music was that it seemed.a little finicky about matching artist/album when pulling down metadata, and I had to do more manual intervention.

The actual streaming functionality seemed perfectly fine, but I personally settled on Navidrome for music.

Do you run the files through something like MusicBrainz Picard first? I want to uniformly tag all my music anyway, so I would do that regardless of which media server I used, but it could be doing a poor job if it does not have a MusicBrainz ID associated with it?

[–] dmention7@midwest.social 3 points 4 days ago

No, I wasn't doing any pre-processing other than "properly" formatting the track name and folder structure. So I can't really blame Jellyfin, because I know that tagging is part of the best process workflow. But I've just found Navidrome seems to be a little more hands off.

Had never heard of ReVanced before this looks amazing. I was just browsing their list of patches and there are some really great ones. Def gonna start using this. So thanks for sharing the link

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 17 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The name comes from the original tweak called YouTube Vanced after it got shut down. Vanced is Advanced without the Ad, which I thought was super clever.

The function I love is the thumbnail one, because I can't stand a lot of thumbnails on YouTube. Even my favourite channels have to do the stupid faces and the arrows for the algorithm. The patch changes it back to the frame in the midpoint of the video.

[–] Ibuthyr@feddit.org 3 points 4 days ago

Fucking love that one. Those thumbnails almost gave me an aneurysm.

I don't know about everyone else, but patched Spotify stopped working months ago for me so this isn't a loss for me personally, but still, fuck Spotify

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 34 points 5 days ago (1 children)

spotify has always been shitty tbh; given the choice between spotify and nothing, you're better off with nothing

Their desktop app is so bad. Slow and clunky.

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 days ago

Yet Another Electron Shit probably.

[–] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 1 points 4 days ago

They desktop app is very easy to patch with Spicetify, I like it very much

[–] Itsamelemmy@lemmy.zip 6 points 5 days ago

It's still working for me. But I've been using plexamp a lot more lately instead.

Need to get tools like this hosted outside the US

Where to? Cracking copyrighted software is illegal everywhere except maybe North Korea.

And to top it off, YT Music stopped working for me, and has done the same for many others on some accounts (the revanced team thinks it's a/b testing from google).

I guess it's time to update my local music collection.

[–] onlinepersona@programming.dev 26 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Such apps should be made by anonymous accounts. Good luck sending a DMCA to them

Try OuterTune. It's great even though it is a YT Music client.

Soooooo

I want to get rid of my Spotify because the apps suck baaaadly. However, I have about 6000 something liked songs

How would I go about getting those off of Spotify and do some self hosting?

[–] GuardYaGrill@sh.itjust.works 20 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

So if I’m not mistaken the route I took was to import my Spotify library to Lidarr > Let it freely torrent/download in the background (this can take a long time especially if what you’re torrenting isn’t very popular!) > setup the Spotify Import plugin for Jellyfin and let that automatically make your playlist an such however, in my experience this worked well for maybe 40% of my playlists (roughly 800 rap songs + 200 rock/metal) and the rest I downloaded with ytdlp and manually added in to my library, which sucked because it was so tedious but once I got it done I never had to do it again.

I got about 15k songs in my library all together but only listen to my playlists.

Seeking out legal advice in just one day is quite… minimal.

[–] blindsight@beehaw.org 4 points 5 days ago

Yeah; that's not much time, and I'm not a lawyer, but this seems a complicated legal question. I just assumed any tool that circumvents any sort of digital lock would be hosting in countries that DGAF about US laws. Even better if they have a .onion address to avoid any network blocking attempts, like z-library.

[–] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 5 days ago (12 children)

I wouldn’t expect Spotify to just let people use premium services for free. Fuck Spotify, right there with y’all on that, but this isn’t egregious or unethical behavior for them.

Use Spotify since it has a free tier, for music discovery if you like, but get FLACs and self host. I like Plex for that and it works with what I use.

Music is actually one thing I will always pay for. I use Apple Music because they pay artists more and they offer better quality. And they don’t care, if you’re on a family plan, if not all your family lives with you. I also self host because backups are nice and I can’t access Apple Music at work. I can, however, access Plex. (It’s not that Apple is blocked. It’s that Apple requires 2FA and I can’t bring my iPhone into work.) But, point is either way, self host and stream everywhere. Sucks that Plex went up; I got Lifetime for $80 years ago. (Now it’s $250.)

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 27 points 5 days ago (3 children)

nah fuck them; they pay their artists squat but pay millions to white supremacist conspiracy theorist podcasters

[–] lichtmetzger@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

They also randomly delete albums and state increased playcount by AI as the reason for removal, and they also allow random dudes publishing remixes on your own artist profile, because there are no checks in place. You can just fill out the artist name in a text field and publish a song:

The artist KARRA recently made a video about it which went viral.
(She also made this meme release up top to prove how broken the system is.)

So fuck Spotify in every way you can. They don't deserve the money, since they're clearly doing nothing for the artists with it.

Except that ReVanced is not distributing anything of Spotify's (to my knowledge). By patching Spotify's app on the user device instead of providing downloads to pre-patched apps, the only thing ReVanced is providing is their own code. The reason they use a patcher system is exactly to avoid frivilous abuses of DMCA such as this. They are not infringing Spotify's copyright in any way.

Android's sideloading changes were done to end this, you cannot change my mind.

They should add support for Grayjay's API so that they could add support for Spotify and all the other sources Grayjay implemented
