Weird Opinion: Half-Life 1 is actually way better than Half-Life 2

Okay, be honest everyone, is there really anything that is as powerful as plexamp's sonic analysis, and track radios? I'm using Navidrome, but it is not even remotely the same thing.
I’m happy that I have navidrome setup, and it even forced me to make sure all my tags were beautiful and setup how I like them, but it’s undeniable that Plex had the upper hand on open sourced music projects....
