      Honest question, how else do I easily discover music that matches my taste if I don’t use a streaming service?

        last.fm is pretty good. download music locally, scrobble it to last.fm, look at recommendations ans/or similar artists. also recommendations from fans tend to work well (comment sections, subreddits, forums, etc)

    As soon as I need to subscribe to multiple services to find my music I’m going back to piracy. Fuck that anti consumer shit.

        fun fact:

        Jellyfin works for music (and audio books) just as well as it does for movies and TV shows!

        And being open source, there are apps specific to certain use cases. Like on ios there’s Finamp for music and Plappa for audio books.

        It also streams in FLAC quality!

    I develop kew (a terminal music player), so I’m biased, but I started kew because I rejected Spotify many years ago.

    I think that kew (or other private/offline music players) together with flacs from Qobuz are actually a great alternative to Spotify. Throw in some Bandcamp albums in there for great justice. Once you have a decent collection, you will feel liberated.

    I especially think that Qobuz needs more exposure.

      I love Lemmy so much cause there’s people that make me feel dumb, and no one that makes me feel smart. It pretty fucking refreshing!

      Also thanks so much for your hard work. I got you on a small donation.

      Edit: super git ignorant, guessing code berg doesn’t have that button. You got a “buy me a coffee” type thing set up?
