Sometimes I get this error you mentioned but I’m usually driving and can’t see what track triggers this behavior but I guess this has something to do with the song format or codec. I usually just hit next and play to keep listening to my songs …

I had some issues with my old kazaa era mp3s and figured it was sometimes easier to just download them again using soulseek…Now I have better formats and quality along with tagged files. Then I use navidrome to serve my music

I did the same! Much more enjoyable experience

I use navidrome + tempo and I’m happy with them…sometimes I feel like the shuffle function is not that great…I get some tracks way more often than others but then I just press next…

As everyone have said, it depends on what you want to have in your server. I started with an old lenovo I bought in mercado livre for 200 BRL. It was a DDR2 PC with 4Gb ram. I bought an ssd and installed Debian. Used for years. After that I tried to build a DDR3 PC. Made it with 800 BRL and it’s decent to run my docker containers like an arr stack, nextcloud, VPN, reverse proxy and vaultwarden.

Wait, can I share a printer on my network that does not have a network card?!

Cool!

That’s why I bought my last two laptops from Dell… In my country they offer a Linux version of their machines.
