#12I embarked on a similar journey last year after YouTube Music took down some albums I listened to religiously.
I settled on Plex + Plexamp instead. I'm mostly satisfied, but there are some rough edges like Chromecast and web playback.

Too bad, because you are referenced in the post! He was inspired by https://youtu.be/4VkY1vTpCJY

#15I have my music loaded into plex and use plexamp but because it’s a nas, I also map it into an owntunes docker container so I get local playback via the HomePods in the house.
I just googled owntunes and can’t find any information. Can you provide a link?

Could you run a user space s3 filesystem that jellyfin thinks is a regular disk filesystem.

#17My strategy for syncing my music library with my phone is that I have four smart playlists:
- songs rated 5 stars which I haven’t listened to for at least 8 months¹
- songs rated 4 stars which I haven’t listened to for at least 16 months
- songs rated 3 stars which I haven’t listened to for at least 32 months
- the 20GB of least-played music
(there are some other strictures as well, like eliminating Christmas music and some music files I have in my library more for archival purposes than anything else, but this is a decent approximation).
This gives me a reasonably fresh selection of music and at least at the moment, with my daily sync habit, when I listen to a song it goes out of rotation for a while which could be anywhere from a week to years.

1. This was originally 6/12/24 months, but I ended up boosting that time frame as storage grew tight on my phone.

You can do this via rclone with Jellyfin.
