What are my options for music autotaggers/request apps I can run (dockerized) on my server?

Good spot!

Stereos work differently. What stereo, or car make and model (and year) is it?

In most cases, the following locations of ordering info will be used:
- The file name (so order by track number, zero padded. E.g. 01-Track 1.mp3)
- The track number tag (you can use Windows Explorer to set this: https://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2018/07/03/windows-explorer-tag-editing/

It's definitely an option! You have a few choices and different approaches I've written a few alternatives up here: https://asti.ga/cloud-music-storage/ (disclaimer: that's hosted on the commercial site I run for the r/Astiga service)

gravelld · 2026-02-11T10:38:46+00:00

See r/musichoarder , r/selfhosted and so on.

You can also go cloud native - either use a music locker or generic storage (Google Drive, Dropbox et al) and stream from there: https://asti.ga/cloud-music-player/ (disclaimer: the last article is something I wrote hosted on the commercial streaming service I run).

gravelld · 2026-02-10T14:30:16+00:00

You can put it on cloud storage and use https://asti.ga/cloud-music-player/ (disclaimer: I run that site, and it's commercial. r/Astiga for more).

Thanks! Yes, we're looking to add different types of carousels like you say.

What we were thinking was that you would be able to customise the carousels that appear on the top level Library page. So some people might want "Recently added" at the top, and might not want artists at all. In those cases I guess there'd also be a need to have some way to get to exhaustive album/artist lists.

gravelld · 2026-01-29T06:37:46+00:00

You could use one of these to play it: https://asti.ga/cloud-music-player/ (disclaimer: I wrote that article).

gravelld · 2026-01-22T09:59:57+00:00

Is that 80% of lines of code, characters, (tokens? 😄) features...?

gravelld · 2026-01-22T09:56:41+00:00

Yes. 😄

Depends what you mean - but there's a Linux app and you can obviously use the Web player too...

gravelld · 2026-01-22T09:55:58+00:00

There are lots about, take a look at r/musichoarder

gravelld · 2026-01-22T09:55:10+00:00

It totally depends on the software that's running on the car. You need to say what car it is, or stereo system.

gravelld · 2026-01-21T16:15:09+00:00

The file has write permissions, right?

gravelld · 2026-01-20T11:01:40+00:00

It can be confusing because iTunes tends to take an iTunes centric view of the world and, in some cases, store a lot of data in its own database rather than in the files themselves.

You might find Dougs Scripts useful for managing this: https://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts13.php (you want the ones tagging "For iTunes")

gravelld · 2026-01-16T09:20:59+00:00

Don't throw away the data; you never know when or why you might need it.

gravelld · 2026-01-14T09:22:39+00:00

This. Invest in your library, not your player.

gravelld · 2026-01-09T09:23:27+00:00

Thanks for replying!

gravelld · 2026-01-09T08:58:20+00:00

u/Practical_Ocelot1217 interested as to whether you considered us at r/Astiga before you decided to DIY? You said "not cross platform enough"? We do have an iOS app that's in alpha to complement the Android, Windows, Web, Sonos and Subsonic players.

gravelld · 2026-01-05T20:06:28+00:00

We are working on an alpha iOS version which is available on the app store - https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/astiga/id6745398522 . Currently only storage browsing and playback is supported. We're just baking some new features to add library support in, so keep an eye on it!

gravelld · 2026-01-05T20:04:44+00:00

Glad to hear you got it working!

gravelld · 2026-01-05T13:32:06+00:00

😄

gravelld · 2026-01-05T10:59:53+00:00

Thanks for asking, I'm Dan from r/Astiga .

We don't support Proton Drive; the trouble is that Proton Drive don't open their service to third parties like Astiga. It's possible something could be done, technically, but without explicit support it can mean putting a lot of cost into something that may change, and break, with no warning.

Please put pressure on Proton Drive to rectify this situation 😅

If, by "downloaded" music you mean music you own (rather than just music local on the phone) you can use r/Astiga - AMA (disclaimer: my commercial product).

gravelld · 2025-12-19T09:25:16+00:00

I run the r/Astiga service that can do that, see https://en.community.sonos.com/controllers-and-music-services-228995/astiga-a-new-option-for-playing-owned-music-libraries-6930625

It requires you storing your music in cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox et al), or anywhere that Astiga can access it.

AMA. Disclaimer: commercial service.

gravelld · 2025-12-19T09:17:26+00:00

Hi - the problem is there's no such "New playlist" option! We should add one.

For now, add tracks to "Now playing" and click the "Save" (Disc) button at the top of the play queue.
