forgive the tyos, english is absolutely my first language but we strugglin over here, ya feel? or, take it as confirmation this ain’t some damn clanker bullshit
It’s just like holy shit! this is what I’ve wanted my music to do my whole life! This is almost just another member of the family.
Feishin and the smart playlists really really shine when adding user ratings into the mix. plus, adding a “mood” tag and then being able to use our own terms, it is incredible.
Build a custom station with the tags you want, then add “not played in the last <blank> days” (depending on how much traffic/supply of that particular kind of music gets) and it keeps it fresh. Add in “rating is not 1” and you’ll see the stuff that hasn’t been rated yet, but it won’t even let 1 start tracks into the queue!
I have rediscovered old favorites, found new songs by classic artists, have perfectly curated playlists down to the nth degree, custom stations that show me exactly what i want before i even knew i wanted to listen to that right then, all without commercials, on every device i own.
i am pumped for the future of the open subsonic API’s! I think a skipped count could be awesome. I’d like to automate some stuff based off skip counts.
the navidrome plugins are getting some inertia, i am excited to see where that goes.
Other Navidrome/opensubsonic users, how do you guys use the 5 stars? for me it is
- 5 amazing song, not only will i 99% of the time never skip it, i will try to get everyone’s attention and have them listen
- 4 i really like this song and have stopped what i am doing to pay attention to it, it is not likely but may get skipped depending on the mood/genre desired at that time
- 3 - this song is good and i notice it and smile while continuing doing my thing, unless it is the wrong mood/genre (can i blast it while working?), which means it gets skipped.
- 2 - this song is unobtrusive and doesn’t appear to bother or inspire me.
- 1 this song catches my attention due to disliking it. I will go out of my way to stop it from playing. i set up my stations to never call for those again.
I am looking for other ways to interface with this to be able to rate songs a little easier/safer (while driving?)
I am hopeful i will have the wiggle room to donate to navidrome, feishin, snapcast, mopidy, spindle, soon!!!!

Thanks for mentioning all the software you use. I just started filling up my library for navidrome and haven’t gotten to plugins yet. Spindle looks very good.
Ratings wouldn’t work for me, because I listen to completely different music at different times of the day. I can’t stand loud, aggressive music in the morning so I listen to Jazz/Soul/Instrumental Hip Hop beats/Classic Piano. At noon I would be bored by the music I listen to in the morning, time for Hardcore/Punk/Japanese Metal/Hyperpop/DnB/anything goes. A noon song would receive 1 star in the morning and vise versa.

that was something i had trouble with at first also. the way i squared this in my mind is the rating system is valuable in the context of the genre/mood
that way if i am feeling heavy stuff, but don’t want to have to sift through tracks that are gimmicky -silence- or interludes between real tracks, i can just base it off of the rating
{ "all": [ { "contains": { "genre": "core" } }, { "notContains": { "title": "silence" } }, { "notContains": { "title": "instrumental" } }, { "notContains": { "title": "live" } }, { "notContains": { "title": "piano version" } }, { "notContains": { "title": "acoustic" } }, { "inTheRange": { "rating": [ 3, 5 ] } }, { "any": [ { "contains": { "genre": "metal" } }, { "contains": { "genre": "heavy" } } ] } ], "limit": 100, "sort": "+random,+lastplayed" }
