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.

I might go that direction too. It seems far more mature. Last I checked komga didn’t have ebook support which was a must, but it seems that’s changed recently.

I haven’t really needed them much, but I’ve had good experience with imgbb.com

None that I’m aware of. I don’t even believe you can get it on the phone (through modified app).

This will vary drastically from person to person:

• Morning: Upbeat faster music
• Midday: Music that doesn’t demand too much attention
• Evening: Slower, softer, relaxing music

It’s $1, for infinite licenses. Plus you can message him for a free one.

Admittedly, this isn’t always the case

I believe you’re looking for a debate, where I was wanting discussion. Take care.

I love open source in an ethical sense, and I use it to meet all of my media and storage needs. Even my operating system is open source. However, as a consumer, I also value having the best possible experience. Companies can provide better and more refined experiences in many ways, often by leveraging their deep pockets.

I don’t mind paying for services that offer great value or save me time. The problem that most companies face, though, is that I expect them to respect both me and my privacy.

If we were to eliminate privacy infringements from proprietary software and make it open source, it would often become best-in-class within the open source community (e.g., Photoshop, Microsoft Office, etc.). Admittedly, this isn’t always the case, but all of this is to say that there can be arguments in favor of providing a service that respects the end user and their privacy, which warrants further discussion.

If it wasn’t Meta, I would almost be okay with this. If I genuinely believed that my privacy was being preserved, I think it’d be a fair trade.

I’ve liked Season 6 significantly better than everything else after season 2. It’s not nearly as good, but most of the lame BS isn’t there.

I totally agree. It doesn’t make any sense at this price. I just wanted to share it, and see what other people thought about it.

Think of it as different home screen. I personally like it, because the original home screen was slow and bloated with things I didn’t care about. I just want it to launch Plex, YouTube, Jellyfin, etc.

That sucks, I’m mostly a desktop user, so that’s unfortunate to know.

Yeah, I just post things that I find and like, or find interesting. Lol I only have a few internal rules, like:

• No political BS (let’s just chill and hangout)
• Nothing inflammatory, or targeted (unless it messes with right to repair, or tech privacy)
• Nothing hyper localized (like a city)

Everything else that’s interesting is on the table!

Something worth mentioning is that android auto will not work for graphene. I was so on board until that. It’s understandable why that’s the case though.

That’s definitely one way of doing it. You are correct though, there are no ways to block podcasts.

Yeah, this community doesn’t seem very vocal. I think when I posted this I had less than 50 subs to the community as well, which probably plays a big hand in it.

Luckily though, this is a cross post and the original seemed to have more eyes than here.

Im glad you found it!

I’ve done it for the pride and accomplishment mostly lol I thoroughly like being able to choose what apps I use to access music.

I also bounced around from service to service, so having a nice home base is awesome, and there is a ton of music that wasn’t ever able on Spotify that I can now listen to.

Although the process is a bit hands on now, I appreciate looking through YouTube/bandcamp to deliberately listen and discover. The intention behind it really makes it feel more organic than relying on an algorithm/influencer playlists
