I’ve switched to Picard, too. I do think for a task like this a GUI makes a big difference. I tried with beets, but you really have to do a lot of research in advance to understand what it is doing and the settings you need, and it’s not one-size-fits-all.

If you don’t have a lot of indie stuff, and you primarily have whole albums, AND you have the patience to go through your entire library one track at a time, then I’m sure it works fine.

The advantage of Picard is that you can see many tracks at a glance to focus on the ones that need attention. Plus you can pause at any time and pick up where you left off.

I now do almost all of this through Strawberry, which has Picard built in.

The site is a web app. You can install it from your browser. It’s way better than IMDB and I’m not sure why it is so difficult to discover through search. Everyone should be using it.

KagI is pretty good in various languages.

The industry will end up with one or two winners and a lot of losers. Very hard to predict these things (smart money in 1997 was that Apple was about to file bankruptcy). One or two companies will have success and the rest will evaporate or be absorbed. Then the AI product itself will be priced up (and dumbed down) significantly.

AI will not go away, but will be far more limited and specialized. The day of free general access to powerful chatbots will be up.

Here is a plan for 5$ per month for 300 minutes from tello.

Edit: To clarify, I don’t believe a true prepaid minutes only plan exists in the U.S. This was the most basic/cheapest plan I was able to find.

Pretty much the exact same experience here. I just removed my wife’s photo storage from Google completely as of this month 🎉. Don’t even need the security blanket anymore. Immich is it.

I had a mini panic when moving from v2 to v3 was not automatic today, but it was a 15 minute fix, that was mostly just reading the step-by-step instructions for the update. Copy-pasted a handful of lines and we’re off!

Get in now before the enshittification.

Who cares? Is anyone still on X other than bots, nazis, and a few misguided journalists?

Hasn’t been relevant since 2019

To me it doesn’t read as AI at all. It’s a bit bloviating, but that is the style of a lot of blogs.

Never heard of this. But even if you could connect to them, how would you cool it?

Edit: never mind, that’s exactly what the article is about.

There is also Morphe, which is fine for me.

If I had a nickel for every time that song came up on Lemmy this week, I’d have two nickels, which is not a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

You might be interested in Rush, which detects music from your “now playing” and displays the lyrics beautifully. Then you can use whatever local player you like for your library and have great lyrics experience regardless.

If you end up setting up a home server with navidrome or similar, Chora has the best lyrics search and display. The website also mentions local playback, so it may meet your need, although I’ve never used it that way.

It’s been a while since I’ve used a local player, but the best ones I’ve found were Oto Music (closed source), which has very good lyrics search and support, and Booming Music.

PixelPlayer also looks like a promising new option.

Navidrome works best with a library that is already well-organized, but it can do some things in terms of library management, particularly with the use if plugins.

There are some good tools for organizing your library, such as beets, Picard, etc. I did not have good luck with beets because I find it a bit complex for a CLI tool, and a lot of my library is composed of singles and mixes. It seems to do better with whole albums. I use Strawberry player for local library management, which has tools like Picard built in, and also connects to lots of things like lastfm if you want. You can also add lyrics with a tool like lrcget.

If you have existing playlist files saved, Navidrome will automatically import them. It can also make new playlists, and there are plugins for smart playlists, etc. Once you set up Navadrome, you shouldn’t have to touch it very much because it will automatically monitor and update your library if you set it up correctly, which is not difficult at all. It’s a little bit more specialized and so has a little bit better setup for music than Jellyfin, in my opinion. And it has far more front-ends on various platforms. I do use Jellyfin for all of my TV and movies, though.

Tempus is phenomenal. I switched to navidrome on my server to use it. Chora is also good, and I use it on my TV (works well on any screen). If you don’t mind closed-source, Symphonum is excellent.

If you are using Jellyfin, it works well on PC, with Fintunes on mobile.

You can find a number of good apps for navidrome here. I quite like Strawberry, which is cross-platform. I use it locally for library management.

I connect everything with Tailscale, which is dead simple.
