I opened Spotify this morning to be greeted by a modal popup with a "sponsored recommendation".

Why am I seeing ads if I'm already paying for the premium plan!? ๐Ÿ˜‘

About a year ago I switched from Spotify to a local library with the Symfonium music player on my phone and Rhythmbox on the PC. I have not once looked back.

Plus, you get the satisfaction of growing a collection that can last forever.

I highly recommend it !

may I recommend Strawberry on desktop? It's really nice to use with large collections! https://i.imgur.com/ViOJK6B.png

Why does my Strawberry look like it's from 1999 :/

[โ€“] optissima@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Ah that'd make sense ig, I had tried it on Plasma at the time.

[โ€“] Tanza@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

if you're on windows it cant really theme that well, but if you're on linux you can use qt6ct to retheme it to look a bit newer, i'm using the "kvantum-dark" theme

[โ€“] chomskysfave5@lemmy.film 1 points 1 year ago

I've tried it, not my cup of tea. Rhythmbox conforms to my GTK4 theme a lot better, and the layout is so much more suited for me.

I feel that Strawberry's layout is ugly as sin, but hey, everyone seems to think Rhythmbox is ugly so maybe that's just me.

I admire any active music library management app tho. Seems like there aren't that many people with local music libraries anymore, so we don't get many new apps like Strawberry or Rhythmbox where MTP transfers, tag editing, lyrics, etc are big focuses. So cheers to the devs of Strawberry and thanks for the recommendation!

My dream is for Rhythmbox to be ported to libadwaita, but that doesn't seem to be in the cards. All the latest GTK4 music players are extremely simple, with no library management features whatsoever. Think Amberol, GNOME Music, and G4Music. I wish I had learned some C when I was young and had the time so I could just port it myself.

Any reason to switch to this from winamp?

How do you stream your music to your phone from your PC?

[โ€“] chomskysfave5@lemmy.film 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't. I compress the FLACs on my PC (into OGGs) and sync my desktop library with my phone. I have like 5k songs and they take up like 40gigs of space.

I used to use Plex to stream to my phone, but there were too many issues.

[โ€“] greywolf0x1@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You should try using Jellyfin instead of Plex

[โ€“] chomskysfave5@lemmy.film 1 points 1 year ago

I personally liked Plex a lot better than Jellyfin, even though it's open-source. They worked about the same and Plex's layout is a lot more pleasing to me and my family/friends.

After a year of local music, I don't see the need to stream at all. I have more than enough space on my phone and no worries when driving through places with bad Internet. Plus I don't miss anything when I enable Airplane Mode.
