Out of curiosity, what is your experience/usage like with this? Spotify is very easy to justify if you heavily use some of their features because there’s not a way (that I know of) to replicate them. For example:

• Shared playlists
• Universal links directly to songs
• Playback control from a second device
• Group listen/jam
• Zero overhead for search and discovery. From someone mentioning a band you can find, sample, and add to a playlist in 30s or less
• Public playlist discovery
• Easy crawling. Eg. browsing from Song -> Featured Artist -> Album -> Record label -> Related Artists etc…

From my usage, sacrificing a majority of those is a non-starter because my Spotify usage has become more than mp3 hosting and organization.
