Don’t know if this will work but I want to ask the #music lovers here…

Anyone have good alternatives for #roon ?

I’ve had a subscription with them for 6 years now. Kinda getting tired of the cost:benefit ratio.

What I do like: Metadata, organization of the library contents, decent UI, mobile app support (Roon more than ARC, but ARC is ok)

What I don’t really need or like: Remote playing (controlling other speakers in the house), paying Tidal if I want good recommendations, kinda bloated and slow app

I’ve used plenty of #vlc , #foobar, #clementine / #strawberry, even #amarok back in the day

I’m really looking for any music solution that’s a little bit of a media manager w/metadata, especially if it can manage all that on a server.

I don’t mind paying for services, I’m just tired of the Roon bills on top of streaming services too.

Like - I want less than Roon but more than VLC.

Any recommendations?

okay #Musicdon ... I can't be the only one here who is a sucker for tribute compilation albums.

Esos ritmos persas que invitan a bailar y yo que bailo menos que un árbol 😅 y aún a pesar que no entiendo nada, desde hace muchos años me ha gustado disfrutar de la música persa (persa tayika), los sonidos, los vestidos típicos de la región, todo me parece fascinante 💙

Hello, I make music for fun. I don't really know what I'm doing but I need to do it. Mainly to get excess sadness/emotions out. I made the song "Not Today" at the start of the Ukraine War and I feel like it's one of my best songs. I hope you all enjoy it too. #music #minnesota #musicdiy #musicdon #art #expressyourself Have a great day!

Spotify's rules prohibit paying to get on a playlist. Yet several playlist owners ask for money to get on their lists. I only ask that you help us collectively grow this list together.

Check out the list and let me know if you have music that should be on the list.

Share the list in your feed so people get to hear all that Mastodon's music community has to offer.

P.S.: Never pay to get on a playlist!

Hi everyone - an introduction. The three most important things I've done in my life were marrying my wife, adopting our daughter and donating a kidney to my wife.

After that I'm an IT professional by day and an independent musician by night. It's the musician part that I most want to share with you fine folks. 🎸🎤🎹🥁 A guitarist/singer at live shows and a multi-instrumentalist in the home studio.

The stats from my records being streamed on Spotify are rather modest (I'm not breaking the Internet like Taylor Swift) but I'm mostly pleased with my improvement over last year:

An 866% growth in listeners
999% growth in number of streams
550% growth in listeners saving my tracks
990% growth in playlist adds
266% growth in followers.

If I can do this again in 2023, that'd really be a testament to showing up and putting in the work. #SpotifyWrapped #SpotifyWrappedForArtists

Tell me about a time you've turned a loss into a win.

For me, it was when I lost all my gambling money for the day at the Blackjack table in about 10 minutes. Then I wrote this song "Quit While You're Ahead." #bluesmusic #musicdon 🃏 https://youtu.be/uZkCXRcMn6Y

Always fun to add some #glockenspiel to my recordings. The track will be called "Not That I Don't Trust Ya."

When this one is done, all the tracks will have been recorded for my upcoming album "Side Effects," my fourth solo LP.

#NowPlaying️ : The Velvet Underground - Sunday Morning #musicdon https://invidious.baczek.me/watch?v=Xhbyj8pqUao

This track, by #Danish #IndieRock band #MoiCaprice, was my suggestion for yesterday's #NationalAnthem on Steve Lamacq's #BBC6Music show.

It didn't get played, my email didn't even get read out (I was a bit tardy hitting send) but, as it's a cracker of a tune, I thought it drop it here for the rest of #musicdon to enjoy.

Taken from the band's third LP, 2006's The Art Of Kissing Properly, it dances a tightrope of #twee and #indie #rock, with just enough #glockenspiel.

@drownedinsound Thanks to the internet there's a surfeit of choices; #Soundcloud & #Bandcamp have steered me to some new favourite bands, ditto #YouTube.

Music loving chums throw suggestions my way, that said I can't always cajole them to join me at gigs I suggest. Fellow #music #blogs (that update more than mine) are great too

#BBC6Music is probably my trusted source, Marc Riley & Mary Anne Hobbs especially, but all the above conspire to drain my bank account.
