Hi there,

I use a Jellyfin server to host my own movies and trying to think about doing the same about music. The problem is that I watch roughly one movie a week but a lot more of music (all day long). For now I’m mainly using sp0tify but the UI is worse and worse, constantly asking for more money.

I don’t care much about my playlists but I’d need to start a list of the groups I listen to, probably around 200/300 ones on “random”.

I’d be curious how you started you transition / technical one too.

Thanks

    I use spotdl to download mp3s from Spotify playlists. 300 files shouldn’t amount to much more than about 1GB so you can probably just use Syncthing to copy the files across devices and then use VLC or some other music player to listen.

        Ah so that might take more than 1GB. My library of about 4000 takes up 17GB so you can use that as an example.
