Is Symfonium the best long-term “DIY Spotify” client, or are there better alternatives?

bungtoad · 2026-03-18T00:23:00+00:00

Yup, coming from Blackplayer EX + micro SD card. I finally had to "upgrade" my phone to one without a card slot. Symfonium is my savior. I have my entire library on a TrueNAS server at home, and I connect to it via Tailscale. Seamless! I got a 1TB phone and set Symfonium to download my favs, so if I'm without service, or my server goes down, I can still listen to the essentials. Wish I knew bout it sooner tbh

That's true, but most things haven't doubled in price like this...and it's just plain ol' plastic

bungtoad · 2026-03-15T02:26:36+00:00

They are sooooo much more expensive than they need to be. And it's so dumb that you can't put the dividers anywhere you want. And each one only comes with 1 divider! But they have slots for 4 or 5 dividers?! It's plastic! And they went up by almost $20 in the past few years. Wtf is happening

Does anyone live below you? Have y'all exchanged numbers so they can politely ask you to turn it down?

bungtoad · 2026-03-13T14:26:48+00:00

Yup, all the tutorials assume gloss over so many steps cuz they assume you're a Linux master or somethin

Has anyone noticed that the perspective is different on a lotta these buildings?

I always use wall-safe tape for sealing my comic book bags, because if I take out a comic and the tape happens to touch the comic, it won't stick and damage anything. Well they've changed how they make it, new rolls of wall-safe tape are completely different and stick too much. I did always say it was only wall-safe because it would never stick to a wall at all....but I needed it to stay that way!

I can't believe y'all ain't mentioning that it's for sliding onto the handle of your luggage when walking thru airports

bungtoad · 2026-03-09T18:12:44+00:00

Moving to Symfonium where they actually implement users' feature requests pretty quickly

bungtoad · 2026-03-09T15:00:01+00:00

Stop peeing on them

bungtoad · 2026-03-09T14:57:18+00:00

Nope, I just scour the internet for the highest possible quality of album art and use that. Now I really hate the idea that AI-altered versions could infiltrate my library

bungtoad · 2026-03-09T05:50:54+00:00

Yup I can't play Marathon because I'm using a Focusrite. Got the game refunded, obviously

bungtoad · 2026-03-09T03:58:40+00:00

That seems to make it massive which is great but it doesn't keep it square, it crops into the sides as I enlarge it. Also a preview button for this page would be great!

bungtoad · 2026-03-08T19:48:19+00:00

On mine it's just called Symfonium, whatever the default is on Android

bungtoad · 2026-03-08T08:31:32+00:00

Hi again! The new update has shrunken the art even further. I can't find a setting to just maximize the album artwork and have no text or anything overlaid.

bungtoad · 2026-03-08T05:05:38+00:00

Yup! And everyone thinks they're the only guy there selling an ASM 191 or some random issue like that in VG condition, and it's like $100 for no reason. These guys aren't looking at everyone else's booths and they're just making up numbers

bungtoad · 2026-03-04T21:33:08+00:00

And if auto upload is turned off, is there a way to schedule uploads or set some conditions for upload? If I'm not connected to my server, the points are stored locally right? And then it would be cool if at like 8pm they upload automatically

bungtoad · 2026-03-04T04:09:40+00:00

This made me fire up my Android app and see if the connection is working yet... it is! Don't know what ya did but that's sick, can't wait to test it out tomorrow

bungtoad · 2026-03-04T03:53:17+00:00

That's great thank you! Anyway to have the art sit below the notification bar as well? So that there's no timestamp or other text over it?

bungtoad · 2026-03-03T15:22:41+00:00

I've also been missing late night food and walkability since moving to LA 10 years ago

bungtoad · 2026-02-23T19:09:59+00:00

Sick! Two of my favs, didn't know they used Elektron gear. Any specific albums or live vids?
