A music workflow for 2024

I think, I think I've found a music workflow I'm happy with for 2024 and it looks like this.

  • Store upcoming releases in a calendar
  • When an album gets released, I tag it using Meta[1]
    • I export the artwork to a directory where I store all the art for all the albums I listen to. This gets pushed to GitHub after Hazel normalizes the name to an artist-album-name format.
    • I upload the artwork to my CDN and my now page then uses the data returned by Last.fm's API to match the filename on the CDN when building my site.
      • If the album is from a new artist, repeat this process with an image of the artist.
    • I upload the artwork to a shared Apple Photos album that I use as my screensaver.
    • I move the music files to a drive that gets backed up to Backblaze.
  • I import the album to Doppler.
    • I send the album to Doppler on my iPhone

From there, I listen to music. It shows up on https://www.last.fm/user/coryd_, my site and my screensaver.
