    Euphonica tries to make minimal and sensible assumptions about your library's folder structure.

    Tracks from different releases (albums) should not be put in the same folder. Preferably, all tracks of the same release should be put in the same folder.

    How hard is it to stop making this assumption? Why is almost every music player adamant on making it?

    Not every song belongs to an album, songs released together might belong to different albums and not every album is released at once. Not to mention folders can serve any kind of organization need other than grouping songs of an album.

  • Wow, this is so fucking pretty! Unfortunately, I don't really have a need for local music files player, but I love it.

    Why is the microphone running after launching the app? I built the flatpak from the instructions.

    What is MPD?

    MPD (Music Player Daemon) is a server-client audio player long popular with Linux users. The headless daemon runs as a background service, typically on a remote audio server. Music is then accessed via a GUI client frontend, which connects to the MPD server to stream content.

    Kind of like running your bespoke, curated music streaming service, in a sense.

    Thank you for including a description of what this about. We are too used to Linux that we forget about new users who might be overwhelmed by the ocean of possibilities.

    Very cool, I haven't used MPD for 15 years, good to hear that it's alive and well!

    Oooo, crossfade, nice. Not many music players have/support this, and it's an essential feature for me.

    I've been wanting to get around to organizing my music and setup mpd, and this seems like a great way to practice. I'm still in a weird phase of using command-line tools and a window manager, but still relying on GUI applications like Dolphin (file manager).

    Fond memories of using mpd back in the day. I used sonata gtk frontend

    This look great. I've always wanted to check out self hosting but it makes finding new things more difficult

    I love mpd, I was a longtime ncmpcpp user, the only thing I didn't like was no synced lyrics, then I discovered rmpc and it's game over, totally customizable, fast and has all the features to compete even with gui clients

    I’ll keep ncmpcpp, thanks. I haven’t used a gui music player in years. They seem so goofy now.
