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

Edit: wow Thanks a lot for the great advices. I already have a tailscale + Jellyfin so I will probably start there with symfonium. For the download I will give soulseek a go.

So I recently terminated my Spotify subscription and moved my library to Jellyfin.

For my phone client, I use Symfonium. There are other options available (even FOSS options if you prefer), but I liked Symfonium's UI the best. It also has a rolling offline cache setting that I find very useful. However, it does have a one time fee of 5 USD. But the client is completely up to your preference - no right choice.

If you care about Last.FM scrobbling, use something like Pano Scrobbler on your phone.

For desktop streaming, Jellyfin isn't required. Use which ever media player you like best.

As for accessing your Jellyfin server outside your home network, Tailscale is an option. It was relatively easy to set up, even for someone who's dumb with networking.

I'll also add that if you're looking to replace the recommendation algorithm, you can use Last.FM, AOTY, RYM, or even Instagram (I follow a lot of artists and the recommended posts when I go to search something have actually been decent. really strange and perplexing)

Also, if you find any CDs you don't care for anymore, see if you can donate them to your local library :)
