Hi there,

I use a Jellyfin server to host my own movies and trying to think about doing the same about music. The problem is that I watch roughly one movie a week but a lot more of music (all day long). For now I’m mainly using sp0tify but the UI is worse and worse, constantly asking for more money.

I don’t care much about my playlists but I’d need to start a list of the groups I listen to, probably around 200/300 ones on “random”.

I’d be curious how you started you transition / technical one too.

Thanks

Edit: wow Thanks a lot for the great advices. I already have a tailscale + Jellyfin so I will probably start there with symfonium. For the download I will give soulseek a go.

    In the past I used airsonic. It has the best support for different music files and good support for albums ripped as single track, like most classical releases.

    The problem with airsonic and its protocol is the lack of good android clients.

    If you need to listen through the phone for most of the time, go with jellyfin + finamp. Otherwise try airsonic + its web ui.

    For music acquisition:

    • torrent for the mainstream stuff
    • niche trackers for niche stuff
    • nicotine+/soulseek for everything
    • bandcamp to support the artists
