My Spotify Alternative For Irish Punk (1 Viewer)

[dregin]

I've setup a Spotify alternative to which I've been uploading MP3s I have that aren't available on other streaming services - Play It Faster

Here's a bit of a guide I put together for connecting to it from Android: ... I Set Up A Spotify Alternative for Irish Punk

If you've any MP3s you'd like to upload, let me know and I can either upload them for you or give you an account to do it yourself.

Cheers,
dregin

Got a USB stick with the MP3s from Ed. Started uploading them tonight.

This is the job, I used to always be downloading from Ed's blogpage of Irish tunes back then.

Could you enable the Subsonic clients as mentioned in the funkwhale notes here?

I use DSub on my phone via ampache to listen to my mp3's already which are on a Raspberry Pi on my desk here

do we need an Invitation code to sign up?

 

[dregin]

Sorry Byrenos, completely missed this. There is no sign up. If you want an account to upload stuff, let me know and I'll create one manually.

This is great. Exactly what I was looking for.

Nice one Dregin. Cool platform and quick setup.

Anyone any idea how this might work on a Mac / iOS?

It was costing me 50 blips month so I tried changing it up a bit to use self hosted storage. No time to get that fixed properly, but might have it done tomorrow. Cloudflare have started giving out free block storage.

 

[dregin]

Scratch that! I transferred DNS over to Cloudflare the other day and didn't realize they didn't auto-add the A record

Hahahaaaa I was that soldier

 

[dregin]

Ok, we're back. Funkwhale really fucking hates block storage, so I've abandoned it and replaced the bloaty instance I was using before with a tiny yoke that's a fraction of the cost and runs just as well.
