It seems #ListenBrainz might be what I am looking for. Will feed it some nonsense through the Android app and see how the recommendations work.

I hope scrobbling from dedicated music players (e.g. using #RockBox firmware) and bidirectional integrations into desktop apps will work as well as from the phone soon.

If anyone is interested, this is me now:

Dear #music #LazyWeb,

many years ago (before its acquisition), I was a big fan of #LastFM. To this day it was the best music recommendation system I ever used. Deezer's (and I hear Spotify's), doesn't come anywhere close.

I would like to find something to fill that void - to help me find artists that I would otherwise not, based on what I listen to.

What is a good option these days?

@thearcanecomposer @morix Have you looked for a second-hand iPod Touch? (With dock connector/USB cable). Alternatively go old and get a classic iPod and replace the firmware with Rockbox?

(To be clear: recommending because of the hardware design, not the proprietory OS vendor behind it.)

@cstross @thearcanecomposer @morix +1 for #rockbox on classic ipods. Got another decade of use from one, rock solid reliable too

Got the 360p version of #Rockbox installed on my #InnioasisY1 with the #AdwaitaPod theme!

Had to change fonts to support Japanese characters, and set new album art because apparently Progressive JPGs aren't supported but now it's pretty much perfect for me ^^

Although the theme is fully functional now, I noticed a lot of aliasing, it looks like the icons for the theme were simply upscaled to match the 360p resolution.

Soooo I'm doing them myself on #Inkscape now

#Rockbox #iPod #InnioasysY1

On one side inkscape is open, reference icons and the remade ones side by side for the different Shuffle modes, on the other side, a folder showcasing different bmp files, components of the theme. Below, a terminal with a ImageMagick command to convert the pngs from Inkscape into compatible bmp files

I installed #Rockbox on my #InnioasisY1 and that got me rambling about how much I prefer to install things on Linux over Windows, and also how some people are not learning (or forgetting) how computers work at all

So I have now iterated to trying out sdm in an attempt to get this RPi 500+ to accept a 4Tb SSD and this would be so much easier with a pair of working eyeballs ...

Figure you might appreciate the #Rockbox theme I'm working on for the #Innioasis Y1 iPod clone. It uses the American Printing House "APHont" font for legibility. I can pretty much read it without my glasses on while out walking.

https://www.aph.org/resources/large-print-guidelines/https://www.aph.org/resources/large-print-guidelines/

Picture of a light-blue Innioasis Y1 music player, running the Rockbox player instead of its original one. The player is using a theme which is very much in progress. The theme focuses on legibility and large print over style or elegance.

The Y1's screen shows info for the currently playing song on 5 lines using a 32-point version of the APH APHont font. The 5 lines take up the entire display. The text shows "#1/11 100%" on the first line [track #1 of 11 on the original album; 100% battery charge], "The Police" on the second line, ""Spirits in the " [Material World", the song title] on the third line, "0:00 of 2:59" [time played of the song so far of its total length], and an "pause" icon and "0 dB" [Rockbox's way of showing max volume] on the bottom line.

The Y1 is an iPod clone, complete with white scrollwheel with "back", "previous", "next" and "play/pause/stop" icons printed on it. — Picture of a light-blue Innioasis Y1 music player, running the Rockbox player instead of its original one.

How the first gen ipod was reverse engineered to run #Rockbox:

1. Someone figured out that when loading a particular HTML page (for viewing on the device), the device would reboot. It crashed. A buffer overflow in the HTML viewer!

2. The device remembered what it did before the crash, so it would reload the HTML page again after boot. Unless you connected to it over USB and removed the HTML file it would stick in this cycle.
