+title: My music streaming setup
+subtitle: Think Spotify, but self-hosted and not as good
+date: 2020-12-13
+---
+
+Having a self-hosted, centralized music streaming setup has been on my
+todo list for the longest time. I'd initially tried using NFS, but
+mounting it on my phone was very inconvenient. Incidentally, a few days
+ago, the existence of Subsonic/*sonic became known to me.
+
+## gonic
+
+I found [gonic](https://github.com/sentriz/gonic) to be the simplest of
+them all, and proceeded to set it up on the RPi. There are other
+alternatives too, like [Navidrome](https://www.navidrome.org), which
+ships with a web player, or [Airsonic](https://airsonic.github.io/).
+gonic stood out the most to me because it's effectively headless,
+barring a simple web interface for configuration.
+
+Setting it up was trivial. I did run into an
+[issue](https://github.com/sentriz/gonic/issues/89) -- I noticed that
+only songs that were already in folders, sorted by album, were being
+picked up in the scan.
+
+```
+|-- Void Of Vision - Hyperdaze (2019)
+|   |-- 01. Overture.mp3
+|   |-- 02. Year of the Rat.mp3
+|   |-- 03. Babylon.mp3
+|   |-- 04. If Only.mp3
+|   |-- 05. Slave to the Name.mp3
+|   |-- 06. Adrenaline.mp3
+|   |-- 07. Hole In Me.mp3
+|   |-- 08. Kerosene Dream.mp3
+|   |-- 09. Decay.mp3
+|   |-- 10. Splinter.mp3
+|   |-- 11. Hyperdaze.mp3
+|-- Volumes - Disaster Vehicle.mp3
+|-- Volumes - Finite.mp3
+|-- Volumes - Heavy Silence.mp3
+|-- Volumes - Hope.mp3
+|-- Volumes - Interlude.mp3
+...
+
+```
+
+So, in a directory tree like above, only the tracks inside "Void Of
+Vision - Hyperdaze (2019)" would get picked up, and all the "Volumes"
+songs wouldn't -- since it wasn't in a subfolder of its own.
+
+As a workaround -- and a necessary cleanup of my music -- I figured I'd
+give [beets](https://beets.io) a shot.
+
+## beets
+
+beets is extensively documented, so I'll skip the basics. In essence,
+it's a music organization tool -- fetches tags, sorts your collection,
+etc. Most of my music has been tagged already, so I skipped that. I only
+it all to be grouped by album. A bit of digging in the docs, and I found
+what I wanted: `--group-albums`.
+
+And in my `config.yaml`, I specified my desired path format like so:
+
+```yaml
+...
+paths:
+  default: $albumartist - $album%aunique{}/$track $title
+```
+
+Finally, running:
+
+```
+$ beet import --noautotag --move --group-albums path/to/dirty/music
+
+$ tree ~/music
+...
+
+104 directories, 1108 files
+```
+
+Nice! gonic then happily scanned all my music.
+
+## actually streaming this music
+
+On my laptop, I decided to just use the NFS share approach -- primarily because
+I'd like to stick to `cmus` and desktop Subsonic clients like [Sublime
+Music](https://gitlab.com/sublime-music/sublime-music) are very clunky.
+
+On Android, there are quite a few options on F-Droid -- I decided to go with
+[Ultrasonic](https://github.com/ultrasonic/ultrasonic) since it's the only one
+that supports Last.fm scrobbling.
+
+All things considered, I think I'm pretty satisfied with this. 'twas a good weekend.
