![]() ![]() I already have an oldish PC set up as a entertainment box running MythTV. It won’t ever see updated metadata, either - quite a hassle for someone that uses Musicbrainz and carefully curates metadata. Move files to another place in your collection, or re-rip them to FLAC and replace your old MP3s, and suddenly they’re in Google Play twice. Another is that the “sync” is only “add”. One is that it often gets album artwork wrong it doesn’t use the ID3 tags embedded in the files, but rather tries to “guess”. ![]() Google Play is reasonable for that, but it has a number of really glaring issues. But that was a hassle, and didn’t let me have music throughout the house. I could also listen at home on a PC, or plug my phone into various devices to play. When Google Play Music added the feature of uploading your local collection, I used that it let me stream music from my phone in my car (using the Bluetooh link to the car). I have a large collection of music that will never be on Spotify (local choirs, for instance) and this was an important feature. I used Spotify for awhile, but the buggy nature of its support for local music eventually drove me up the wall. It was about 2.5 years ago that I last revisited the music-listening picture on Linux. As an added bonus, I’d like to be able to stream music from my house to my Android phone. I finally decided it was about time to get my whole-house sound project off the ground. ![]()
