I buy vinyl for older albums (or current favourite artists I follow that release LPs), and all my digital purchases are through Bandcamp. I host everything (flac or mp3 files) on a Navidrome server and stream from that.

I love everything of his that I've read. I think my favourites are Green Mars, Aurora, and 2312. I also really loved The High Sierra as a very different example of his work.
I've still not read The Years of Rice and Salt or Shaman – definitely need to get around to them. I tend to pace myself with my very favourite authors.
Thanks for all your work on this fork! I use Tempo every day and I'm so glad there's development continuing. Do you already have a new name for the project in mind?
It depends on the client app you use. Some support it, some don't.
I use Jellyfin for movies and TV shows, but never tried for music because I already had Navidrome set up. It is so good, really one of my all-time favourite pieces of software. It greatly repays a well-tagged collection, relying on embedded metadata only. Not sure how Jellyfin works here, maybe there is some ability to scrape album info from online sources (?), but I believe it's pretty strict about directory structure (one folder per album), which Navidrome doesn't care about.
REAPER is absolutely one of the best pieces of software out there. I've been using it too since maybe 2009, though not so much in the last few years (not moved to an alternative, I'm just not doing so much audio these days).
I love the business model, the development cycle, etc. and even though it's not open source it kinda has a similar community feeling. Every bit as feature-filled and capable as any of the industry standards.
"Since 2022" - not a headline-worthy comparison imo
For me it's Irish traditional music. Aside from having an interesting history, the style often takes a very high level of musicianship to play well. A single monophonic instrument can play a tune and the fast-moving stream of notes can simultaneously spell out melody, counterpoint/call-and-response, and harmony, as well as providing a strong rhythmic pulse (it is music to dance to, after all).
Trump also thinks it's 50x larger than it really is because of map projection effects.
