====== Music Guide for People Who Hate Spotify (in-progress) ======
This will soon be written up properly, but for now here's a bunch of helpful links and notes. 

===== Music Players =====
  * [[https://www.foobar2000.org/|foobar2000]] (works best, but ugly)
  * [[https://www.clementine-player.org/|Clementine]] (or [[https://strawberrymusicplayer.org/|Strawberry on Linux]]) (also ugly)
  * [[https://getwacup.com/|Wacup]] (WinAmp redux) (keeps crashing on me)
  * [[https://deadbeef.sourceforge.io/|DeaDBeeF]] (haven't tried yet)

===== Music File Organization etc. =====
  * [[https://picard.musicbrainz.org/|MusicBrainz Picard]] (my favorite)
  * [[https://beets.io/|beets]] (too techy for me but if you're a nerd you'll love it)

===== Scrobblers =====
  * [[https://listenbrainz.org/|ListenBrainz]]
  * [[https://www.last.fm/home|Last.fm]] (still around!)
  * [[https://libre.fm/|Libre.fm]]
  * [[https://github.com/krateng/maloja|Maloja]] (self-hosted)
  * [[https://pleroma.social/|Pleroma]] (federated thing)

===== If You Miss Winamp =====
Download [[https://getwacup.com/|Wacup]] and hope it doesn't crash

Old school Winamp skins here: [[https://skins.webamp.org/|Winamp Skin Museum]]

Put Winamp on your website with [[https://codepen.io/sadness97/pen/RwKbNWW|this code]] from [[https://goblin-heart.net/sadgrl/|sadgrl]]

===== Where to Get Free Music (Legal ver.) =====
Used to be that you could get a bunch of free music to download, now of course everything's streaming and the freebies have mostly stopped. But if you look around you can still find some stuff...

  * Bandcamp has lots of indie artists who give stuff away for pay what you want, or for free. Try searching through [[https://bandcamp.com/discover/pay-what-you-want|this tag]] to start with
  * [[https://soundcloud.com/Soundcloud]] sometimes has free music but whether it's easy to download or not is up for debate 
  * [[https://archive.org/details/audio|Archive.org's audio collection]]
