The served Vibe preview was eight items deep, and every one of them cost a track fetch on each advance while buying nothing but a longer Up next list. Three is enough to show where the stream is going. The audio prefetch was the opposite problem: it only began twenty seconds before the end, so a phone that lost signal in that window arrived at the handover with nothing buffered. It now starts fifteen seconds into the current track, which gives the rest of the song to pull the next one down. Buffering that early means a replan can change the answer, so the idle element is re-pointed when it does. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
muzick
A high-performance, distributed music orchestration and recommendation platform.
Overview
muzick is designed to manage a local music library while providing an "infinite vibe" listening experience. It bridges the gap between a local filesystem and advanced discovery engines through a tiered recommendation architecture.
Tech Stack
Frontend
- Framework: React
- Routing: TanStack Router
- Data Fetching: TanStack Query (with Look-ahead Buffering)
- State Management: Zustand (for Session/Vibe state)
- Styling: CSS Variables (Customizable Themes)
Backend
- Runtime: Node.js / TypeScript
- Framework: Fastify
- Task Queue: BullMQ (via Redis)
- Search: Typesense
Infrastructure & Data
- Database: PostgreSQL (Source of truth for metadata, relationships, and session state)
- Cache/Queue: Redis
- Audio Analysis: Essentia (via Worker processes)
- External Metadata: MusicBrainz, Discogs, LRCLib, Cover Art Archive
Core Concepts
- The Rolling Vibe: A continuous, evolving stream of music that uses a "Rolling Window" of tracks. It interleaves owned library tracks with high-probability "probation" tracks (external discoveries).
- The Dislike Lifecycle: A multi-stage state machine that protects users from accidental deletions while ensuring the library stays clean.
- Tiered Similarity: Instant metadata-based matches, followed by deep audio-feature similarity.
Getting Started
Prerequisites
- Docker & Docker Compose
Running Locally
Vibe uses the same per-user identity convention as the rest of the API:
x-user-id when supplied, otherwise the local default user. Each user's Vibe
session and listening history are isolated from other users.
