Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that (badabingus.ghost.io)

Full disclosure, I'm pretty new to selfhosting myself, and I haven't written a guide like this before, but hopefully this scatterbrained writeup is enough for someone out there lmao

This is just what works for me and how I set it up. Always open to ideas for improvement as well.

I agree, but only up to a point. If you like to discover loads of music because you listen to tracks all day at work for example (which can make you get bored of tracks/albums quickly when you play them a hundred times in one day), its much harder to do so when you have to use a different service for recommendations & listening.

Not so much that I haven't done that myself, but it is more time consuming.

So tl;dr its the discovery part thats a pain, at least for me.

(Speaking from experience)

Edit: i just clicked on the post and it covers discovery, ima have to read that later.

It would be cool if there was open source software to link your library to your friends so you would still get new things you didn't have coming into your list.

It could probably even use one of these fun new protocols too!

I mean for work listening passively I've moved to icecast on vlc. There's a shit ton of internet radio out there and I've discovered stuff I never would have otherwise. There's also the archive. And bandcamp. There's soooo many ways besides Spotify. Pandora also still exists and I used to like it but I think there's a lot of ads now
