You might be interested in Tapesonic then (a shameless plug). Streaming YouTube stuff is borked though (needs newer yt-dlp - you can try rebuilding the container yourself with a new alpine version); also grabbing non-library tracks is not supported for ListenBrainz for now (their API doesn’t return the URLs, I’ll work around this in the future; meanwhile you can still get the playlists of the stuff you already have in your library).
Yeah. That’s why I’m also adding the last.fm integration.
And you still have an option to just import whatever you want whether any metadata aggregators have it or not unlike Lidarr.
edit: if anyone sees this, the update with the last.fm recommendation playlist support is available and I also added basic documentation to the readme
Spotify replacement? Oh, hey, that’s me.
I’m working on Tapesonic, a subsonic-compatible self-hostable streaming service. It won’t stream your local library, but it can import stuff from YouTube and Bandcamp (and probably other sites yt-dlp supports, but I didn’t bother testing) and stream those. Started making it because Lidarr can’t download basically anything and also can’t manage anything that’s not in MusicBrainz even if you download it yourself.
As for discovery - Tapesonic can scrobble your listens to ListenBrainz and, since a couple of days ago, last.fm. Those in turn provide recommendation playlists.
Caveats:
Want to give it a try?
docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 -e TAPESONIC_USERNAME=user -e TAPESONIC_PASSWORD=pass ghcr.io/sibwaf/tapesonicAny other configuration parameters, persistency, stuff like this - sorry, you’ll have to study the code. No docs and no support for now.
Hey, that’s almost what I made Gire for. It doesn’t support completely anonymous reads though (requires SSH keys for auth).
Oh, a shameless self-plug opportunity. TLDR: I’m making a Subsonic server trying to replicate a somewhat passable self-hosted Spotify/… experience.
My current setup is a Subsonic stack: gonic as a server, Lidarr as a library organizer/downloader (it works natively with Prowlarr BTW) and Sonixd/Tempo as desktop/mobile clients. Frankly, it sucks - no discovery and almost nothing gets auto-downloaded. Even ignoring the crucial discovery part, I got tired of manually downloading albums from Bandcamp - manually tagging, manually feeding files into Lidarr, manually adding metadata to MusicBrainz so Lidarr actually works, …
So, I’ve been working on a Subsonic-compatible server for quite a while. The basic idea is:
Well then, what can Tapesonic already do?
What’s broken/not implemented yet?
No user documentation, half-broken, breaking changes one after another, slow progress - but hey, it doesn’t mess with your existing library and already made my life quite easier with Bandcamp albums. A docker image is available - so give it a spin if you want to and then ragequit because it sucks
Seeing the recommendations in your Subsonic player (even the ones you don’t have in your library) currently works with last.fm auto-generated “playlists” (stations, as they call them). Streaming them is broken but easily fixable, I just haven’t gotten around to it.
YouTube links in the player would probably need updates to the OpenSubsonic specification and support on clients/servers - but I don’t really see why someone would want this if you could just stream those without leaving the player.
I’m working on a big update (multi-user support which required reworking almost everything, haha…) that’s been blocking me from doing basically anything else. After that goes live somewhere around January-February (along with updated yt-dlp which will fix streaming stuff from YouTube) one of the priorities will be implementing Bandcamp auto-search. This will allow better matching for last.fm recommendations and also matching non-library tracks for ListenBrainz.
