Personally, the open source community’s aversion to (privately and openly implemented) algorithms is what’s holding me back. Say what you will about them, but I’ve found many great songs thanks to Spotify’s algo.

Don’t threaten, just do it!
I don’t get why people are so stubborn to move away from corporate products.

It’s not so much an aversion to algorithms as it is a version to corporate controlled algorithms (which are often targeting highly questionable metrics).

If you’re just looking for an engine that recommends you music based off your likes, the FOSS community could utilize the Music Genomoe Project to build a tool too do that based one a folder or Playlist of music provided to it. I would be surprised if there already wasn’t a FOSS tool to do that.

I was dragging my feet because I really liked the algorithmic features. As much as I hate “AI” being jammed into everything these days, I really liked their DJ feature, and the “crate a playlist from a prompt” was a lot of fun to play with!
My favorite generated playlist was “Determined music for poopwalking home from Taco Bell”
That being said, they’ve been corrupting their music exploration tools with corporate interest for a while, so it’s been becoming less desirable as a result

I hate Spotify and would like to stop paying them even 1/5th of a family subscription. But I have researched alternatives and haven’t found one that meet my need to manage offline files, playlists, and the current playback session across many (and I mean many) devices.

I don’t use any proprietary apps. Only FOSS apps on my phone.

Sometimes I feel like it’s just too simple. Then I see articles like this and I’m like nope. Staying away from that bullshit.

Well… with streaming services people don’t actually have anything, because nothing in there are theirs to own ;)

sure. though it would be easier to talk someone into jumping off a bridge than to convince them to give up something they mostly hate but enjoy one crucial feature of
