Goal of the year is to build a personal music library to move away from music streaming services.

Like we had 20 years ago. Good old music files on a disk somewhere. We can’t be hostages of those streaming platforms like we are now.

The problem now is to find modern softwares, something like Roon, that will be future proof.

I don’t even know if we use ID3 tags nowadays.

Where should I start.

@regis Have similar plans. Backup/sync existing Plexamp music library from NAS to SSD, so that I can listen to the entire library everywhere.

@stefanzweifel and yet I haven’t seen a blog post about it !! 😉

How do you like Plexamp so far?

@regis love it. Usually I just download entire albums. Haven’t used the playlists much yet.

@regis for storing the actual files, I like keeping things tidy with beets. It helps me match a folder full of music to the exact release. all data stored in id3 https://beets.io - I store flacs but can’t always claim I can hear the difference :D

@eljojo honestly when I see on Reddit people comparing Spotify and Apple Music sound quality, I think I don’t have the same body as the others since I can’t hear a difference even with very expensive headphones and DAC and pre amp etc….

I’ll definitely need to use beets. I do remember using it in 2007. Time flies. Boring tech remains.

@regis nowadays, with moderate to low prices for mass storage devices, I would go with a lossless format. as the name suggests, it is a 1:1 copy of the original medium, but compressed - you may think of it as zip for music.
I personally ripped all my cds to flac. take care about the ripping software, cdparanoia is pretty well. freac as a all-in-one solution provided a satisfying experience for me.
