Replacing music streaming with self hosting, that’s definitely more work than it’s worth but it’s cool! I have a playlist on Apple Music that I like to keep updated as I acquire new records, so I have linked it below for you to check out my progress!
This is my Fluance RT81 (I think) sent to a Fosi Audio P4 Mini preamp, which I can either connect to my Fluance Ai40 powered bookshelf speakers or my laptop to record.
My entire collection is around 1,163 songs and 82 hours of music (or 3.4 days!) that I intend on recording.
Here, I have my laptop connected to an Audient EVO4 audio interface that talks to the preamp and allows me to record the vinyl record digitally.
I use Audacity to record and edit the audio (using the beta for Audacity 4 but Audacity 3 works fine).
I use MusicBrainz Picard to scan the audio and assign the correct songs data to. I host Navidrome on my server to act as the streaming front end. I am still figuring out how to add music to my platform.
On second look, I fixed the problem! *restarted the docker container*
I mounted an SMB share to my Navidrome VM and set the music path to that in the Docker Compose file and I just never restarted the container for the change to take effect. haha…
But now it works and it’s so cool!
I fixed the album art bug, turns out I was just using the root of the music directory to store all my tracks instead of individual folders for each album and artists, causing Navidrome to not apply the cover art to the tracks. Once I reorganized my music folder and restarted my docker container (didn’t forget this time!) everything worked as it should.
All of these albums were recorded in mono and need to be recorded again in stereo, I was just in a rush when doing this the first time and went with what I had.
This means I’m currently 54/1163 songs, that’s 4.6% done!
I mean I still need to re-record these and boost the volume a bit…
