Every single time I use Spotify, after the first advert it says to enjoy the next 30 minutes ad free. Then after a 2 minute long song, I get 5 minutes of adverts 😑. Every single time

Edit: using mutify now, thank you everyone!

    Not entirely automatic, but I found that Navidrome (at least when you use a third party client like Feishen or Symfonium) has smart playlists. I use that to write some simple queries like:

    By genre:

    • Ambient
    • Downtempo

    By listening habits:

    • All Favorites
    • Rediscover Old Favorites
    • Last 100 Songs Played
    • Never Listened To
    • Top 100 Songs

    and so on.

    Obviously, the genre smart playlists assume your music has Genres tags. I use Picard (with the Last.fm genre plugin) for that.

        MusicBrainz Picard

        It’s a GUI tool that gives you the ability to tag songs in bulk. It uses the MusicBrainz database to provide relevant metadata, and also provides user plugins (like the Last.fm plugin I mentioned)

        I get my songs in batches (through Bandcamp and youtube-dlp) every couple of months, so GUI is fine for me.

        However, I’m seeing a CLI alternative called https://beets.io/ ? Apparently it is a CLI tool that also queries the MusicBrainz database (or Beatport, or Discogs), and apparently integrates well with Lidarr. I never tried it, however.
