Finally a setup that looks almost complete!
Hello All,
I just wanted to share my experience of setting up a self-hosted music solution. For context, this isn’t a replacement for Spotify (at least not yet), since Spotify is inexpensive enough that I’m not too concerned about switching.
I have a library of about 36,000 songs, mostly in FLAC. I started building this collection around six years ago, mainly to keep my favorite music in high-quality formats like FLAC and DSD for serious listening. At the time, I didn’t tag anything properly—everything was just organized into folders by artist or band.
Last year, I began shifting toward a self-hosted solution. It was a tedious process, but I genuinely enjoyed organizing everything along the way. These are the tools I used:
-MusicBrainzPicard / MP3Tag for correcting tags
-LRCGET to save lyrics in seprate file
- Spotiflac/Lidarr/CD's as music source
- A self made tool just to embed/download missing Album art
- AudioMuseAI as a recommendation system (this is game changer for me, I absolutely love this)
- Navidrome and Plex as music server - I really love PLeax Sonic analysis feature and jump to and fro between AudioMuseAI and Plex sonic analysis
- Symfonium (mostly use it for navidrome+AudioMuseAI or webdav access) , Plexamp and Feishin as music client
A big thanks to this community for all the knowledge!
Happy listening!
