I’ve been searching for services that host personal music collections, but there doesn’t seem to be much available. I came across a product called Vox [1], which I might try. There are also plenty of self-hosted projects of varying quality (but I hadn’t seen Black Candy before).

I'd like a service where I can upload a large folder of MP3s, and it would help organize them into albums, perform useful processing like ReplayGain normalization, BPM and key analysis, etc. It should also have a good playlist manager and player for desktop and mobile.

Some existing services allow you to add your own music files, like MP3s, but this often feels like a second-class citizen. Services like SoundCloud are focused more on social interactions, which I don’t really need.

Have I missed any services like this?

There's some growing dissatisfaction around algorithm-driven music services like Spotify. Also, these services carry the risk of music disappearing for various reasons. I think a service allowing curation of own MP3 collections could appeal a significant fraction of all music lovers out there.

I’ve been wanting the same thing for a while now too. I’ve thought about trying to build it myself but the thought of requiring users to manage their own library seems too niche. A hosted, music-focused Plex competitor sounds awesome but also not sustainable. Surely the majority of those users who care about managing their music library are also happier owning their storage too, no?

While Audacity dominates the conversation for open-source audio editing, less commonly discussed is Mixxx. It's an impressive DJ software, fully open-source, and provides tools you'd expect in paid products like Rekordbox, but for free. It's fairly intuitive, with active community support, if you hit a snag. Worth exploring for your mixing needs without financial commitment.

This sounds like a GPT paragraph.

This is awesome. Just yesterday I was thinking about how nice it would be if I could just connect to Mullvad directly from Tailscale. Great work!

Is this their plan to compete with Vine?

TikTok, and yes.

This is a cool idea! The one thing that puts me off from using it is that it seems to automatically do the searching on every tab change. I'd much rather it search only when I click on it. Right now it's adding unnecessary network traffic at best, or collecting my browser traffic at worst.

That will be the Electron version. No thanks.

From the article: "Our new 1Password apps are built in Rust..." Maybe give this version a try then?
