I have this and use it everyday. I use Beets to give the files metadata (using Musicbrainz and the Discogs plugin as a fallback). I then host Navidrome as a music server and connect it to Last.fm. Once you have all that in place, find a client that does Radio or Instant mixes and it works like a charm. The two clients I use the most for this are SonixD on PC, and Symfonium on Android. If you're feeling adventurous, then host a VPN at home and connect into your Navidrome server using your phone client, and you have mixes on the go! :)

That's what I was referring to, but yeah, maybe it was just that they couldn't carry on with the same storyline.

They were saying a few years ago that they were never doing another Witcher game. Now look at them :) Not complaining tho...

I've been using a Zidoo Z9X for streaming local media. Not cheap, but very powerful and has a huge amount of features. It'll play just about anything you throw at it, all locally.

Yep. When I first set up my instance, I couldn't believe how slow it was. I set up redis using the Nextcloud documentation and its like butter now.

He is the nerdiest of the nerds, but I wouldn't call him a neckbeard.

I met him once. Very nice guy.

I'll keep it short and sweet.

I've been using Manjaro for about 6 years now.

When I had an Nvidia GPU, it would break after quite a few updates and need a rollback.

Then I moved to an AMD card, and I haven't had any issues at all.

Like...at all.

The End.

I was in your position a few years back. I missed MediaMonkey when shifting to Linux.

I found Tauon media player was a pretty solid replacement for playing local and network files, but ultimately settled on running Navidrome server and Feishin as a desktop client. I haven't looked back.

For organising your collection, I'd look at using either Musicbrainz Picard (GUI based) or Beets (CLI, and it's a little complicated at first). I generally use Beets with Musicbrainz database, and the Discog plugin for anything not found by MB.

I haven't found anything that is a complete package like MediaMonkey, but with a bit of effort and once the parts are set up, it's so much better.
