I just started looking at music streaming software last week, and installed Navidrome on an Oracle Cloud instance as a test. So far, so good, although it took a while to discover that Oracle's Ubuntu image uses iptables, after which I found that the network connection with unlimited ingress and 10 TB of egress is a lot slower than the advertised 1 Gbps, at least on a free-tier ARM instance.
My impression has been that MusicBrainz has more typos and weirdly formatted metadata than FreeDB. Now that I know more of its background, I'll look into it more. My CD collection is mostly ripped to full-album FLAC + CUE, so correct metadata will likely be an important part of converting to MP3 for streaming.
- kylebgorman 5y agoI have been doing this for a long time, and FreeDB's metadata is way, way worse than MusicBrainz's, and has less coverage too. If you find any issues in MusicBrainz metadata you can submit a correction, which will be reviewed and voted on by community members. I've done this maybe 4-5 times for my collection of about 2000 releases and in each case, my correction was quickly accepted.
