Navidrome maybe? But I use jellyfin + symfonium myself. All my music is either bandcamp or used CDs. Started collecting music late last year and my entire collection is legally sourced now. No piracy required. Hardest part was starting very small and building the collection over time.

Back to Piracy! ✊🏴☠️
Really though? It isn’t necessary. Use Bandcamp, you probably have half your artists covered. The rest - one of those Spotify alternatives: Tidal? Qobuz?

used CDs
I get them dirt cheap or completely for free. It’s actually reverse piracy since no doubt the previous owners ripped everything.

Yea, it literally makes no difference for the artist, if you pirate or if you buy a used CD.
Pirate it is just way more convenient.

Go to shows, buy the albums from the merch tables and use the events (to the best of your individual ability) as a means to connect with like minded anti-fascists.

That is of course even better. Just wish any band I’m interested in would ever come to play this quiet corner *sigh*

Thanks for recommending Navidrome. It looks really interesting.
I was using Spotify, but switched to Spotube. After Spotube was crippled, I was kind of aimless. I really liked having my music available on my cellphone and desktop. It looks like Navidrome will fill the gap perfectly.
You’d mentioned ripping CDs. Would you have some software, you’d recommend (Windows or Linux)? Preferably in FLAC.
I haven’t looked at ripping software in a few years, but it was kind of tedious to set up and very manual to get the proper metadata, genres, and cover art. I’ve got a hundred CDs and that’ll take awhile…

I want to leave Windows behind… abcde seems the way to go for Linux.
On Windows I use EAC, it’s great but requires a little work to set up. There are a lot of tutorials for it if course.

abcde
for Linux. It’s in your repositories. Set it up once the way you want, then it’s just: insert CD, enterabcde
, repeat ad nauseam.DistrictSIX@lemmy.zip 14 hours ago
Don’t know if it’s still what’s recommended, but I use foobar2000 for ripping CDs to FLAC.

Bandcamp is the best

I have Jellyfin for movies/tv, and gonic for music!

I switched to Deezer!

I would suggest Qobuz (if available) or Tidal. Deezer’s CEO is a hard-core religious nutjob who finances anti-trans orgs and sexual conversion “therapies”.

more like 3% bandcamp availability. i know this is a linux/trans/selfhost/overpayeddev/westeu/foss echochamber, but im not wasting electricity and money on selfhost if a 1tb sd card in my phone can do the same thing offline.
