I'm working on building a personal alternative to Spotify and YouTube Music and I've hit two roadblocks.
Genre labeling in my library is inconsistent and manually updating 2500+ MP3s isn't feasible. I've tried using beets with the LastFM plugin in quiet mode but no luck. Any ideas?
Where can I bulk download diverse music catalogs? I've snagged some 'top 90s/80s/hiphop/etc' collections, but 2500 songs don't go far.
What I miss about Spotify and YouTube Music is their ability to auto-play similar tunes based on my current selection. Any advice would be appreciated.
Sorry for necroposting, but can I bulk download a custom playlist from soulseek? I understand it as a semi-private torrent tracker, so I’m guessing I’ll have to seed back every single music (even if it’s not forced I still will). That’ll make it even more annoying, all files are stored twice, once sorted and dumped into a filefor playback, and once inside the "torrent"s folder.
Also also do I have to look out for something before jumping head first into soulseek?
Soulseek is more like an old school peer to peer network like kazaa, limewire, winmx, ed2k etc.
I haven’t seen any clients with a playlist downloader, though that sounds like a cool feature to suggest.
You don’t have to seed.
