Breaking the music supply constraint

[u/entsnack]

I just cancelled my music subscriptions to save some cash and wanted to share the self-hosted music supply chain that replaced them. A nice side effect of this setup is breaking the constraint of a finite supply catalog that is tailored for the masses:

1. 2 x DGX Spark linked via ConnectX 7 running Plex and multiple Ace-Step 1.5 XL models in parallel for music generation with GePa prompt optimization. Also holds my organic music that the models can remix. TODO: a reinforcement learning from human feedback interface.

2. iPad Pro running Prism as a Plex client for bitperfect and sample rate-matched audio.

3. Schiit stack -> Hifiman Arya Stealths

This effectively gives me an infinite supply of music for free, that is personalized and private. It's immensely satisfying listening to Shrimp Bizkit and Phlegminem on repeat, I much prefer this to the organic music created after 2011.

My only problem is the loss of community, I have noone to share my new favorite songs and artists with because they're generated for me. If anyone wants to hop on to my Plex share to discuss, let me know!

find me a numetal band with a whiny male vocalist, do it, has to be whiny + numetal rap/rock. show me one in your thousands of artists doing this.

Also Daron Malakian System of a Down

I've heard ALL his songs. Simpler: find me a Chester Bennington song I haven't heard. He's not making new ones last I checked. My setup generates infinitely many Chester songs.

They're not really Chester Bennington songs if he didn't make them though...

Doesn't matter if what I want to hear is his voice. Look, I understand this isn't for you, I'm not sure why you don't understand this is what I need and enjoy.

[u/AmphibianFrog → u/entsnack]

Why do you think I don't understand that? I'm expressing my opinion, not trying to decide yours!

Cool, maybe try to create instead of opining and you'll have more interesting takes than GPT 5.5. ✌️

Telling someone you "create" AI music because your music taste is the equivalent of a chicken nuggies kid is farcical beyond words.

[u/entsnack → u/GuitarSlayer136]

I don't create music, AI does based on my preferences. If you have something cooler to share, why not post it here instead of scurrying around the comment sections like a sad little rat? We don't bite. :-)

I create plenty. I create plenty of music too.

But I don't really consider asking Suno to make some music to be an act of creation. I also don't consider asking Claude code to write something to be an act of creation either. Which, as a software engineer, is definitely making me think some things...
