No personal data is collected
IP address (which can be geolocated) along with a unique identifier is not considered "personal data"? This is basically a tracking cookie. It also seems to use HTTP, which is itself widely fingerprintable based on what request headers it sends.
There's a config variable and a cli flag to disable.
That seems reasonable to me.
I saw it, it is NOT spyware. It just sends a random UUID. It is just a personal disappointment for the fact that it is something so simple as a console player and yet connects somewhere. But that's just me. I grew up in other times.
Also I just compiled mp3blaster and I am listening to it again. So cool!
