My current setup is to have all of my music hosted on my Jellyfin server and streamed to whatever device I’m currently using. It can be a player as well as an organizer (kinda). Your setup can be as simple or a complicated as you want.

For iOS I recommend FinAmp as a good music player. FinAmp is ugly but it’s actually quite good. It also is almost useless without a Jellyfin server to connect to. Jellyfin’s web interface is better, but doesn’t play well with iOS killing background apps constantly.

For discovering music I use a mix of Spotify and ListenBrainz.

And finally for acquiring music, Band Camp is usually my first stop, followed by Amazon. spotdl is a good app for downloading songs from your Spotify playlists to your storage nas, but the legality of it varies.

I use Trakt for tv and movies and ListenBrainz for music. Both have plugins to allow them to integrate with Jellyfin.

My 3 hosts all run Proxmox. Publicly available services run in VMs, usually running Ubuntu. Private services are usually Docker containers connected directly to my TailScale network running directly on the host.

Sounds like a connection would work with that setup but it would depend on what you are planning on hosting. Anything that is sensitive to latency would probably not work well. Static sites should be fine though.

Please! That sounds like a slick setup.

Way back when, I think I was using WinAmp (on XP) and then k3b (when I moved to Linux) to rip and burn cds, but I don’t recall hearing anything about k3b in a couple of years. As for something more recent, I’m afraid I’ve been running Windows lately so I don’t know what available in Linux land.

If you’ve got wine installed you might give Exact Audio Copy a try. It’s what I’ve been using since I started ripping cds again. I don’t know if it work in wine however. I didn’t have any luck ripping cds with WinAmp when I tried recently, though surprisingly, it does still run in Windows 11.

Found the spec sheet on that processor for anyone who’s interested.

It’s doable but you should treat it more as a learning opportunity than a production system. Honestly, that’s old enough that a RPi might be able to run circle around it.

The Celeron 1011 is a 32bit processor, so Debian or Gentoo may be the only distributions that still support it and you will probably have to compile from source anything you want to run. A gig of ram was good for its time.

The Linux Unplugged crew from Jupiter Broadcasting are currently doing a 32bit challenge to see if such systems are still usable for day to day usage. It’s going to be interesting.
