What a hectic week it has been. It was filled with a lot of pending work from last week and new work from this week. I am doing okay work-wise and otherwise, too. All of us have recovered. The business of life should return to normalcy in a couple of weeks.
I listen to Music from my homelab server using Navindrome and several client apps. It works both when I am online and offline. But one of the things that you miss when you listen to local Music is discoverability. It’s not easy to find new, interesting Music unless you’re on one of those...
I listen to a minimal set of music. I don’t try to find new music, but I usually have my ears open. If I listen to something new and I like it, then I add it to my list. For a long time I have bought my music; in the form of cassettes, CDs, MP3s. When music moved to mainly streaming world, I almost got disconnected. That’s because I listen to a small set, again and again. I have ripped audio cassettes, CDs and have brought them to digital form. So everything was in digital form on my music players, computers, and mobile. But it lacked the features that streaming or music on the network would bring, like keeping track of album art, maintaining different versions and formats, maintaining sharable favorite lists, etc. Now that I have a fairly decent home lab, I thought its time.
