I'm looking for a self hosted music server (or client) that has good automatic playlist generation from a selected song, like Spotify's "your recommended". I'm currently running jellyfin and navidrome for music. The closest I've seen is beatbump but it uses YouTube for the music, I'm hoping to use my local files. Any suggestions?
There's this one called lightweight music server. It's basically just a glorified in-browser vlc. It has playlists and remembers what you were doing if you close the browser but it's not possible to move songs up or down in the playlist. You can add songs to the front or back of the playlist as well as remove songs from the playlist but there's no dragging up or down. For me it's still the more desirable choice vs using Spotify and either paying a monthly fee or listening to ads. I know there are anti ad hacks but they always break after every update and are hard to install.
I've previously also tried airsonic, gonic, ampache, LMS, and funkwhale, all with some problem I couldn't solve. Maybe embarrassing but for the handful of minutes I tried funkwhale, I couldn't figure out how to add my music files...
I used Ampache a lot, years and years ago. But since Spotify hadn't any need .. I prefer collecting my music on vinyl and CD, and use Spotify for music discovery. (And in the car. No record player there yet)
I don't think there is any self-hosted server that has a good playlist generation and is fully local, because it would need someone to classify the music in order to work. You can try to connect it to last.fm. I think Jellyfin has the addon for it.
Happy if metadata file names are checked externally with something like last.fm to calculate the playlist, just want the music files to be local. Does jellyfin do playlist generation with the plugin you mentioned?
