Subsonic Server Sharing? Browse other people's collections?

[Mangraa]

I'm not sure if "sharing" is quite the word, but it started with S, so it works for now. I apologize if this has already been asked/discussed/torn down/etc., but in a somewhat cursory search online, I could not find any sort of list or online group for Subsonic users (minus the last.fm one) with the intention/option of sharing access to each others' servers.

I'm ignoring the whole legal part for now (just disable downloading or something) and/or bandwidth issues (server operators' discretion), but is there such an online community/would people be interested in starting one up somewhere, somehow? Essentially just sharing music via SubSonic... pretty straightforward I would imagine.

So.. how about it? Thoughts?

Well I for one would like to see what others have on their system and how they have it setup. Here is my system address

columbia.subsonic.org

you can use guest/guest to poke around and play some music but if you want to do realy use the system then you must send me a message at

I'm in. Mine is tagged, everything is full album rips MP3, FLAC, M4A, OGG
Willing to share login info via PM. Let me know.
Thanks!


Edit: I have 10 years of tag editing put into my collection. It isn't a mess of uploads or 1 off songs.

Edit2: BBSs sure have changed since my day!!
Thanks for sharing!!

I would be happy to share if i could get the same HQ music i have stribed to aquire. (FLAC/ALAC rips in CD or higher, correct tags and album art)

And they would have to have a descent connection (i have 30mbit)

[bsantero]

I would too. Mostly classical (am an orchestral trombonist) and mid-higher quality. Wish I learned all about high quality encoding when I was a wee one getting into digital music.

I'd be willing to share, but my upstream bitrate is pretty minimal at 1Mbit.

I don't know where you are, but that is a pretty stringent requirement. It isn't even possible to get a 30Mbit upstream connection where I live, let alone for it to be common.

Sharing is fun, I like turtles.

I hate to be a buzz kill, but ...

1) If too many people are connecting, no one will be able to use the server because there won't be enough bandwidth.

2) I'm pretty sure "sharing" your music will be illegal wherever you are.

3) Posting login/password is never a good idea as anyone can login if the info is valid.

I am up for sharing, but my experience has been that there are always more moochers than anything. So it's not worth it to me.

[nicholasa]

THe intention here isn't that it should be open to everyone, but share your collection with maybe 1-3 people who have the same taste in music, at leat that is what i'm thinking.

[Jeronym]

Nice idea!

This is what my subsonic shows:
1.458 artiesten
2.597 albums
30.445 nummers
409,52 GB (~ 6.361 uur)

I don't know if it is correct, never counted them myself

Music styles: well, almost anything. From classical to hardrock, from country to triphop. Dutch, Czech, Finnish, French, German, English and more...

Curious? pm me!
