I ran Subsonic for years, and now run Plex for other stuff which is fed by - among other things - Lidarr, but honestly having to chase down my own stuff sucks. I’ll never match the millions of songs they have on offer.
Comment on Recommend me a music streaming service?

What’s your home internet like? Got an old PC you can use as a server?
Like you, I’m refusing to cop that massive price increase and I’ve decided to ditch yet another monthly sub.
I’ve dropped my old MP3 collection into Jellyfin and started streaming myself. Using my “liked” song list to shortly update my collection.

I took the view that I don’t need to match the millions of songs offered by streaming services, I had a liked list of about 800 songs and rarely play anything else.
If I wasn’t moving between devices and locations; I could probably go back to just filling my phone with music.
I’m still in the experimental stage and I’m not 100% sold on the way Jellyfin handles music. Using Symfonium as the front end and it seems to get around the weirdness of Jellyfin, especially on the car, since Android Auto is a must.

Actually, just fired up Subsonic again for fun. Man it hasnt changed in years, but the server software still works perfectly on my test box here at work that has ~5k tracks. The OG Android app hasnt been updated since 2018 yet works flawlessly. Maybe I will just end up hosting the damn tunes myself again.
