It looks like it supports the getSimilarSongs API endpoint, which means if your client has support then navidrome can kinda do it.
As to what clients support that, uh, no freaking idea lol, but probably googleable from that point.
(I’m a grumpy old boomer and listen to whole albums or curated playlists, so never really looked into if you could do that or not.)
Either of which seem reasonable enough.
I’m just confused who is spending $700+ for a gaming console if the one that’s $200-300 less seems to be fine?
I’m old and out of touch I guess. (And do all my gaming on a Ally Z1 non-extreme these days which is an absolute potato compared to either of these PS5s and it’s also… fine.)
My first thought while reading was ‘does he also forget to breathe sometimes’?
And then I read the about-the-author bit at the bottom and am also confused if I was talking to a human or an AI, so he might have a point.
I know you’ve mentioned it, but Navidrome is probably the best choice, but it won’t be exactly what you want since you need to interact with a proprietary service.
But, that said, I’ve gone through basically every single music server I’ve found and ended up landing on none of them.
They’re all broken or missing features that another one has, and there’s no One True Music Streaming Server, just a bunch of mostly-kinda-sorta-almosts.
At this point, I just use a network mapped directory and/or a synced copy on the sd card of my phone and local players and don’t bother with anything more complex anymore.
The local players that can play media seem to have a much better, richer feature set than ANY streaming one does.
And you don’t even need to win to be president!
You just need to have it be close enough to have the supreme court call it in your favor, just ask Al Gore about that one.
(And for anyone confused: the odds that our bought-and-bribed-for supreme court would vote for anyone but Trump are pretty much lol, lmao.)
If I were a dev, I’d probably prioritize that awful ‘THIS HAS FAILED!’ error when you search for a new community that your server doesn’t know about because well, new users who don’t know that doesn’t mean what it says are going to walk away thinking something either doesn’t exist or is broken.
I also kinda think that community lists and activity stats should somehow be federated between all the servers that know each other.
Like, lemmy.world knows uncomfortable.business exists, so both servers should know the full list of non-private communities that COULD in theory be federated and be pre-populated in the search results.
And then feddit.org is federated with lemmy.world, so all 3 of the servers should be fully aware of each other’s communities so that a user that lands on ANY instance immediately has a working searchable list of all communities that exist.
Some overhead, sure, but the amount of data here is probably just a one-time big sync and then a small number of updates which is certainly not going to break anything given how chatty lemmy already is.
That’s also an option, yeah.
And, if you have the disk space, not an unreasonable one, but for me? DVD quality is pretty bad compared to anything newer and I’ve never noticed any real degredation transcoding a mpeg-2 stream to x265 which is like 25% the filesize, but that’s very ymmv.
