Fuck. Yet another company I donate to behaving like shitheels. Fuck. No more donations I guess.

It’s pretty cool. I have it integrated with Lyrion via a plugin so I can generate a list of related tracks to a song, album, or artist in my play queue, and with lyrics and CLAP analysis it can also generate a music queue via text prompts via phrases like “classical music with cellos” or “relaxing ambient without bass” “aggressive melodic rock” “soothing female vocals” and so on.

As a bonus, we use Wiim Pros and Pro+ units at home to integrate with Lyrion and they can be linked and synced for whole house playback across multiple audio setups.

Everything I have is either for entertainment or home automation. Most of it is running on a mini-PC running Proxmox.

• Jellyfin
• Asset UPnP
• Lyrion
• Navidrome
• LRCLIB offline lyric server
• Home Assistant

And I’ve got a containerized Audiomuse-AI instance for music analysis and instant playlist generation.

This is pretty cool, and I’m guessing the hardware doesn’t even break a sweat.

My entire setup runs on two AMD mini-PCs, one running a Ryzen 5700u with Proxmox for VM hosting, the other is a 5500u running bare metal Ubuntu.

Proxmox server hosts:

• Asset UPnP
• Jellyfin
• Audiobookshelf
• (formerly) Plex (I ditched it)
• Lyrion
• LRCLIB offline lyrics server (via LRCLIB DB dump)
• Home Assistant VM
• Navidrome instance

Probably a few other things I forgot about…

The bare metal Ubuntu server currently just runs Audiomuse-AI for music analysis, but when not scanning it’s generally idle. Only set this up because early versions of Audiomuse-AI didn’t play nice for me in a VM even when r running with CPU in host mode.

When the hardware gets cheaper I wouldn’t mind a full size server again with a dedicated GPU (I decommissioned my old one due to defective RAM), but for now the mini-PCs have been great. They’re quiet and absolutely sip power, so efficient and quiet.

Thankfully I’m not paying it. Even before the AI boom I saw the overall upward trend in power costs. I went solar with battery backup when I had my house built and I bought enough to be at or above 100% offset with net metering. The only thing I pay is the grid-tie connection fee each month, and I get a small check from the power company each year for any overage I generate.
