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.

    I’ll echo what most people here are saying, Jellyfin (which is what I use) or something with the subsonic API, and Symfonium. It’s non-free, but it’s a cheap one-time payment and it’s genuinely an excellent mobile app.

    As far as building your library, I do use Lidarr, but it’s a lot more hit-and-miss than Radarr or Sonarr are for their respective mediums. For music, much like back in the day, Soulseek is still the best option. In fact, you can selfhost slskd, which is a great modern web interface for it.
