ok it's nerding out time! so a bit ago i decided to use mopidy on my chromebook setup (which i'll call it "akane" from now on) since i couldn't take much advantage of mpd, considering my music is stored remotely and i use navidrome for my streaming solutions, with jellyfin as my fallback. akane ain't powerful, so using navidrome on a web browser was a pain in the ass.

however, i've quickly come to realize that mopidy-mpd is not complete, so clients such as my girlfriend's "mus" (which you can find at https://sr.ht/~sfr/mus/) can't queue songs because song searching is not implemented, which to me is a big ???

therefore, i'm about to try another solution: using mpd+rclone! i might also use mpdas for scrobbling, but first i want to test if this will work

@m > so client's such as my girlfriend's "mus"

i was so confused, stopped at the word mus, not reading the link, for like 4 seconds, until i remembered that you're dating aoife 🥴

i might have concluded that fetching the songs over http is not the best way to get these. but what if i got them over SSH?

ok, did so and yep! indeed ssh handles it better, just have to wait for the database to update and i should be all set

ok. now, some detail to how my music is served. so there's 4 main ways i have to access my music library.

1. navidrome
2. jellyfin
3. http
4. ssh

essentially the best method would be navidrome, since it can use subsonic apps which are better than jellyfin's in my experience.

jellyfin is what i use for movies and TV shows, but i also have it configured to access my music library, just in case™

alternatively, i host a password-protected http file index, which can work in case web clients are not really an option. the password is just there to prevent DMCAs and i don't care if people find out about which one is it. the usernames and passwords are not even hard to figure out, try it out lol https://tv.nightcore.monster

lastly, i can use sftp to access the directory directly, which is the route i took here and it's working the best so far.
