  • You want beets to organize your music https://beets.io/

    You want to use the musicbrainz database

    And you want to scrobble your plays to listenbrainz.

    You will serve your music however you want. Navidrome is one of the best, you can’t go wrong.

    Navidrome does not take car eof tagging. You have to make sure your music is tagged properly. You can also use other software for it that uses beets under the hood. Someone shall chime in and suggest the best app for that as beets isn’t end user friendly.









  • Why?

    I like a good extension ecosystem. For the mothership, GNOME, you can only implement one idea, maybe include a couple ideas but the boss or the group has to decide upon one idea. With extensions, everyone, even a maintainer herself, can write one. You do not have to talk to someone else. You can just do it.

    As long as the api is well written, extensions are better than having one big mothership trying to accomplish everything and pleasing everyone. Imagine having an IDE without extensions. You have only the opinionated version of the main dev. With extensions, everyone can put his flavor on top of it without asking.

    Edit: don’t ask me why extensions and especially extension manager isn’t included in GNOME itself.
