I kind of solved that with favorites. For albums I favorite them like I said previously to bookmark them to see all of the ones I care about most front and center.

The favorites for songs though, I use for the use case you described above. Every song I favorite gets added into a playlist using Navidrome’s “smart playlist” feature automatically.

Don’t get me wrong I use playlists ritually, but for an easy “brain off” playlist with every single song I clicked the heart on automatically, it can’t be beaten for ease of use.

I definitely use favorites. I’ve never really cared enough for the rating system. I almost use the favorites button as a bookmark for albums and songs I don’t want to lose in the collection.

Yep, it’s how many are subscribed from your instance.

You need to be on a web browser, and at the instance you want to check. Scroll all the way to the bottom, and click instances. That example is from your home instance.

I learned about this community from your post. That’s so unfortunate.

Musicbrainz isn’t a music streaming server though? I’ve used it to tag everything with mood, and bpm, but I’m not aware of any selfhosted music server that utilizes it.

P.S. It seems like you’ve responded to this post 3 other times.

I’ve used Plex, Jellyfin, and Navidrome. I’m currently using Navidrome, but Plexamp is a massively better product for discovering/interacting with your library. The sonic analysis really takes it to another level.
