  I'll suggest you look into tailscale. It makes the process a whole lot easier

  I'm starting (a little late) to build my music library this way too. I self host jellyfin , for which there are some nice music players. But, I still have my Spotify account currently while I gradually build my personal library. I'll admit tho, I will miss the algorithm and artist suggestions

  It's not the quantity, it's the quality. Sure I can search for similar artists with other means, but the Spotify algo is just on point. Probably so after many years of feeding it my listening habits.

  I'll eventually drop it for a self hosted service with machine learning that I can train.

  Spotify or the last subscription I have. I'm otherwise completely free of big tech.

  The reason I can't let it go is because I actually would never find new music I like without it's algorithm. I've found such got music based off it's recommendations. I know I could still find these bands without a premium subscription. But, music is a big part of my life and I just don't want to faff around when trying to find some music I like. For the same reason I think I'd struggle to self host my music because it's totally fail to work at the worst times no doubt
