This is why I had to return my iPhone and go back to Android, there was no possible way to get my music library onto my phone with a linux computer. The only way it seems to work is if you have a Mac or Windows PC and iTunes. Not everything is available in a company's streaming catalog, even if you pay for it.

You can self-host something like Navidrome/Ampache and use a subsonic app like Amperfy https://github.com/BLeeEZ/amperfy and download your whole library (or cache as you go along playing tracks).

I guess storing my music in my PC hard drive and playing from it makes me look like a caveman.

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.

Technical aspects aside, I don't see how it can compete in cost comparing with something like Spotify. If you host it by yourself and pay for the rights of the music, I can see it costing more than 10 times for the same content.

Storage is dirt cheap and I already ripped my CD collection more than a decade before Spotify started up. Besides that half the stuff I have isn't on Spotify to begin with.

I mean, if you listen to the same few old things over and over again, sure. I listen to dozens of new releases a month...and that's not even counting back catalog.

YouTube music supports uploading your music library to it.

This post made me wonder whether they quietly removed the feature. It's still there though. All my uploaded music from the Google music days is still there and there is still an option to upload new stuff.

It's not as well-integrated as it use to be in the Google Music days though.

I 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…

TIL Strawberry (Clementine fork). I found the relevant page that lists differences on the Wiki: https://wiki.strawberrymusicplayer.org/wiki/Differences_from...

I’ve been happy with Clementine, but I wish it didn’t have that many features - going to give strawberry a spin.

One of my hobbies is buying used CDs on discogs or from my local record store and ripping them with ExactAudioCopy. I use Picard (gui) and metaflac (CLI) to manually edit the tags. For each album's comment I try to put the artists involved and the album liner notes, if any. For a web player, Navidrome is excellent. I use the play:Sub iOS app to access it on my phone and stream to my apple tv, which is connected to my…

One of my hobbies in a past life was downloading high-quality rips from what.cd

That's how I got into CD ripping - in order to build ratio for what.cd.

It no longer exists but if you search around there are other similar sites.

I use Jellyfin, it's about the same thing as Plex, but free. I host it on my homelab along with a half dozen other services, and I can stream any of my media from anywhere. There's even pretty nice third-party clients. I use finamp on android, it's specifically a music player frontend for jellyfin, and has options to download your files and play offline. So far, the biggest problem is simply learning how to find musi…

I also use Jellyfin along with an Android app call Synfonium. It has heaps of customisation and works with many media providers including Emby, Plex, Subsonic etc.
