What do you all use this for? It seems popular but I've never found a use-case for it
- Id suggest giving the video a watch might give dome ideas of how you could use it + its a great watch!

  Wow. That was a good watch. Its a very powerful tool.
- I guess I will try to use it for my music collection. It seems a much better option than Nextcloud, with the built-in music player etc. 🎶
Whatever you do, don’t abbreviate copyparty when recommending it to other people.
- I'm using my extra hard drives for CP too!
- CoPy works great
- At least with Cyberpunk we have a number e.g. CP77
- Is a C-Party one of those sexy sex terms that people who are hip sexy swingers would understand
Is there a skin / theme that makes the UI more modern?
- It seems it comes with 9 different themes.
  Personally, I find the UI decent, specially considering it runs even on ie6, and that it's ok for mobile devices too.
  
  I'm looking for one that makes it look like the Lemmy web client called alexandrite or the Feeds gnome app.
  I'll need to whip up a theme with ChatGPT or something.
- I watched a video from the author last week, he mentioned there's a pull request in progress for a new UI. Agreed, this one 'aint it..
Thanks for the heads up! I think I'm happy try this for my music collection.
I'm sick of all these different streaming services. I want to build up a old school mp3 library! Who is with me? Let me know, maybe we could borrow some songs from each other.
I'm into dance, trance, house, techno, but also some rock, pop and even classical music.
- if you just care about listening to mp3s across all your devices then navidrome is a good choice imo. because it supports the subsonic api, there are a lot of good players for it like feishin for desktop and dsub for android and a built-in web player.
  as for sharing music, soulseek is already pretty established for this. it basically allows you to search for and download music from anyone on the network (remember to share some yourself, it's good manners).
  the setup i use is basically a server (all these programs are pretty light, so you can probably run it on a spare laptop or even a raspberry pi) with:
  slskd as a constantly running soulseek client, allowing me to download music to my server through the built-in web interface
  beets, to automatically tag any music i download, based on information from musicbrainz. you can configure slskd to run commands when downloads finish, so i just run beets to import any new music
  navidrome as the server to actually serve all the music
  the only real gripe i have with this setup is that while navidrome has support for multiple users, so i can easily allow friends to listen to my music collection, slskd doesn't have that (yet, it's planned), so if someone wants music added to the server they have to ask me to download it through slskd, which is a bit tedious. it works really well if you're the only person using it though
  
  To my knowledge, Navidrome doesn’t allow music browsing by folder, only by artist/album. I had talked about this with its main dev a few years ago. For me this is a no go..
  
  I second navidrome for music. It's awesome that copyparty has a media player, and it'd pawbably be great for organising your library remotely. Once it's organised though, you really want something that has proper mobile clients with offline track abilities and there's heaps of choices that work with the subsonic API.
  
  Thanks! I think I did hear about the 'name you should not mention' software (Soulseek). I will also take a look at navidrome!
Glad to see this shared again. This tool is legendary.
This is so peak
That's pretty neat
How does it compare to SFTPgo?
- It has a cooler name.
- https://youtube.com/watch?v=15_-hgsX2V0
- It sadly doesn't support SFTP. Would switch if it did.
  
  I'm sure they would implement it if requested 😄
Looks amazing. Thanks!
Nice
I guess an Android-originating alternative would be Transfer, but even that doesn't work on all networks (or at least my work one).

Meh. Not one of us
