I've borrowed hundreds of CD from the different public-city-libraries I've been the past 15 years. In France you're allowed to make private copy of books and CDs :)
There's no way any public library near me has more than 10% of what I listen to currently. They have famous bands and mainstream albums from my country and that's it. I hate most of it.
Really? We have Privatkopie, and last I checked CD Audio was not considered copy protection. You (indirectly, via the manufacturer) already pay a fee to GEMA for every device or data storage media that can be used to make them with the assumption you will. Do it.
Unless you thought libraries were a euphemism for torrents.
> Das Gesetz trat am 1. Januar 2008 in Kraft.[7] § 53 Abs. 1 S. 1 UrhG wurde geändert, so dass Privatkopien nicht zulässig sind, sofern zur Vervielfältigung „eine offensichtlich rechtswidrig hergestellte oder öffentlich zugänglich gemachte Vorlage“ verwendet wird.
the last sentence says that no public sharing is allowed for copyrighted works
doesn’t matter if the distributor is a library or a torrent
Did you get local network streaming to work well? Player takes over one second to respond when I try to control the streaming from my phone. Works perfectly except for this high latency issue.
Yeah that's one of the issue, but I'm living with it.
It's pretty awesome to have a stream of all my music on a unique link available on the Internet :)
Second that, Snapcast is great and the multi room feature is magical. Every friend that comes over lets out a wow when they hear the music synchronized in the kitchen, living room and patio at the same time.
I also created a free app to control Snapcast with macOS keyboard shortcuts or from your iPhone/iPad: https://lowtechguys.com/volum
Lightweight, all free-software, can handle a massive audio-database, all synchronized. What else do we need ?
