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 Bandcamp and redacted to fill my NAS, which runs Plex with a lifetime Plex Pass. For playback I use PlexAmp on Windows, iOS, and macOS. Very pleased with the radio / shuffle functions, sometimes it’ll absolutely nail a beat- and key-matched cross fade. Great for local library discovery.

    My music library has continuity all the way back to 2000, I’ve still got a few vintage Napster MP3s from the 56k days.

      Damn, I envy you. I lost all my digital music from those days to disk rot and a hard drive failure. Wish someone told me back then that CD-R was not a good backup medium. Or that I had checked on the disks before I needed them. Live and learn.
