Hi folks,

Recently, I started to listen to music locally instead of using streaming services because I have had enough of all the annoying parts of it. I gathered a lot of Opus and FLAC files that have lyrics embedded in them. I am searching for some music players that can display them. The one I am using right now is Elisa. It is awesome, but I would still like to know if there are more alternatives, just in case. Thanks!

      That sound like a lot of work, but it seem really fun! I may try it when I have time.

        It’s not, really. All of those programs are Go, and single executables. There’s no “install” for either gonic or ostui (IIRC, also Navidrome): you download or compile the executable and run it, and you’re off and running.

        Someone mentioned Docker; in this case it’s unnecessary unless you’re doing it for security. They’re just each a single binary. You’ll have to either create a config for gonic or Navidrome, or run them with commands telling them where your music lives, but that’s it. Running on the same machine, you don’t even have to open the ports on your firewall. However, if you do, Tempo for Android lets you stream the music to your phone from gonic or Navidrome, too.

        These are very, very simple programs to run. ostui is a TUI, so if you prefer GUIs you’ll want a different client, but both of the servers are easy to run and nothing to install - just run them as you, not even root.

          Yep, but only if you familiar, otherwise it can range from 1day to a week depending how complex our setup is (OCID,Fail2ban,reverse proxy, self-signed miniCA…).

          But once your setup is all ready and you get all the bell and whistle it’s just a matter of 5mins (and very fun too if you have time to spend !)
