Yeah. Unless you have a distinctly niche music taste, spotify just recommends everyone the same thing. Maybe a little bit more personalized by adding a few songs you listened to in the past.
I use mpd-sima for autoplay functionality. It would in turn require using mpd or mopidy.
It queries last.fm for recommended artists and tries to find a match in your playlist. It works, but honestly it’s not great. I don’t think it’s any fault of the software. Last.FM doesn’t know your library and seems to return limited results, so it’s like a game of battleship actually getting a hit. (Not quite that bad, but the analogy holds water, overall)
I don’t download full albums, just individual songs I like.
The sources are basically anywhere I hear music, but generally, it’s by listening to radio.
As of now, this has already got me to 1,179 songs with 3 in queue to be downloaded. (If you’re curious, those in queue are: Dana International - Diva; New Kids On The Block - Step By Step; Prince - Purple rain)
It is hard to call it discovery in this case, more like a reminder of the songs since I knew them already.
Other sources include, but are not limited to: Browsing YouTube playlists, searching for artists to see if they have more good songs, buying a CD compilation, searching for someone’s Spotify playlist after peeking into their phone when I liked multiple songs (they didn’t want to share the playlist, but left it “public”), Bus Simulator Ultimate (there I discovered 2 artists, Melihcan and Cem Kılıç), old tapes, bus driver with a Bluetooth speaker (and me with Shazam), parts of songs randomly appearing in my head from who knows where, background music in videos.
Be careful with your solution. Ever other container you launch will attempt to access the Nvidia runtime, which gives access to the GPU. This may have unintended consequences, versus just running individual containers with Nvidia runtime set, and gpus=all set.
IReal pro is an excellent app, there’s a built in forum for getting user uploads for the chord backing track of most any song. It’s mainly centered around jazz but there’s pop standards as well.
There’s a UI element you can press that lets you represent the chords in guitar tabs or as sheet music in a karaoke like display.
It’s certainly no replacement for playing with other musicians, but it is extremely useful for practicing
If you start with the option to move, then it’s bound to happen. If you take small steps and start with using -p (pretend) and use -t/–timid when importing/moving, then you get the hang of it and it works great. When I started I used 3-4 albums in a folder and tried to experiment with settings and plugins until I got what I needed.
Protonvpn has a browser app where you can turn it on so it works on your browser traffic but not the rest of the network ( e.g. steam ). I haven’t tried it much so I can’t say how well it works or how stable it is.
The problem with downloading over http is that if it fails you’ll usually need to start over completely. And that sucks if you’re pulling in big files like… Linux ISO images.
If you’re downloading a lot over http I’d suggest finding a download manager. Those usually have some kind of resume download functionality.
Perhaps there is one that allows binding to the VPN interface?
I’m not sure. From what I’ve read it’s pretty stable and when using other VPNs with MEGA I haven’t had issues with the transfer limit already being depleted. It could be not a lot of people actually go through the hoops to do it.
I definitely don’t see it mentioned here. There was one person who thought they were downloading torrents through it combined with a web client but that’s something else
I have seen an exception - old installer Windows games. For example, yesterday I was installing NFS High Stakes and it was complicated, needing to mount ISO (nocd needs external installer patch that only works with mounting), installing it, running it once and then copying files over to run on Linux. Observed the same even with Razor’s repack combo of NFS Hot Pursuit I and II, which needed running game once on Windows for configuration then successful runs on Linux.
This leads me to the conclusion that either doing this is a good way, or anyway just have Windows 10 by the side on a SSD to ensure no compatibility problems. You can keep running Windows offline even after EOL if you scan files properly, since you will give no internet to it.
I tried running Alba from ovagames via flatpak bottles and it didn’t work/load 😭 it is on a laptop w open source drivers not the nvidia driver🤷 but I assume it should load something 🤷 maybe i try ur way op🤷
