There's a large and growing number of music players for streaming from your own server. You get the best of both worlds by owning your music and having it accessible anywhere.

They are all so poorly written though. None of the OSS media players come even remotely close to the UX of Spotify, and that's speaking as someone who has paid way too much for Roon because it's at least 80% of the way there.

UX of Spotify - you mean annoying podcasts, ads for the concerts by the bands you've never heard of and mixes with ghost artists?

My main issue with Spotify is how bloated it is, how they ruin the UX with almost every update.

Other fun music players: - https://foobar2000.org - https://volumio.org - http://rhythmbox.org - https://amarok.kde.org - https://cmus.github.io - https://museeks.io - https://fooyin.org - https://audacious-media-player.org - https://www.clementine-player.org

But none of those whips the llama's ass.

WACUP can!

You could add mine to that list: https://www.plastaq.com/minimoon

I'd be curious to try it but I don't understand from the site whether it is mobile only. It claims that there is a utility to sync with desktop but then it doesn't run on desktop?

It's both desktop and mobile. If you're browsing on mobile it will show you screenshots of the mobile app.

The sync app is separate, free app just used for serving files to the mobile app for syncing though.

If you are a KDE user, I highly recommend fooyin, which is essentially a Qt6 clone of Foobar2000: https://www.fooyin.org/

Unfortunately it has the same problem as all flatpak software of breaking network shares on restart.

There are also .deb and .rpm packages: https://github.com/fooyin/fooyin/releases

It's amazing how bad software developers are at naming their projects. At least this one is unique enough to be searchable, and could probably be SEO'ed above the computer lore (indeed, at least for me it's already #1 for "deadbeef" on the Google SERP). The worst are when they pick a generic English word for a project that has nothing to do with that word. I'm not going to name and shame, but there are so many exampl…

My experience is that the most overloaded software project name is “Apollo”. I worked at one big company that had three different internal services by that name. I blame NASA for this one :v

If it makes you feel any better I worked for a company that referred to each of an internal tooling library, an externally-facing web app and an offshore consultant as 'Zeus'
