I guess storing my music in my PC hard drive and playing from it makes me look like a caveman.
I don't want streaming music, I just want to stream my music

#12I have plex server running on my NAS, but started running Jellyfin and the Gelli app from f-droid to do this. Plexamp seemed like a great option, too, but it's hard to beat foss.
Edit: I do love Spotify, however, since I've been able to listen to so much more music than ever, but I resent that they can, and have, pulled music from their selection.

I like this method as well but boxing up my computer and carrying it around with me is a little unwieldy. Plus, the headphone cable is really short and if I move my head too quickly it gets yanked out of the back.

#14Amazon used to offer exactly that kind of service. You could upload your own music files or get them automatically when your purchased an album (digitally or physically), then play them from a web player or locally installed client app. It worked great, so of course they killed it and now you can only listen to music they license/allow streaming.

#15I stopped listening to music entirely when Grooveshark up and died. There's probably entire bands that I've forgotten because I relied entirely on their playlists.

Google music had the system to same upload your own music for a while.

#19I use navidrome[0], its a music streaming server you can selfhost and then use a player that supports the subsonic api for playback. I use the strawberry[1] music player on my desktop and substreamer[2] on android. Navidrome can also scrobble your music to last.fm if you tell it to. The actual music files are mounted with rclone and --vfs-cache-mode full to a directory. [0] https://www.navidrome.org/ [1] https://gith…
As someone currently running a Navidrome instance with 40k songs...yeah, I wouldn't wish that on anyone(horrible performance), but it is an option I suppose.
