Hi peoples!

I’m on Apple Music but I want to expand my setup with music hosting but I have no idea how to approach it. Right now I have nothing and know nothing haha. So if you had a guide or would like to share your setup that would be awesome :)

Everything from a player, through downloader, to organiser and whatever else is needed. I heard that lidarr works in Albums, which I usually don’t use. I’m a “I hear a song, I like it, I save it, forget the author or album” kind of person 😅

Or maybe it’s not worth it at all I don’t know haha

Thanks :)

    I too am going from Apple Music to self-hosted.

    Personally I run Navidrome on my server. It has a web player for computers and play:Sub has been my mobile player of choice. Also supports offline downloading to your device. Super lightweight as well.

    • For acquiring music either I use Freyr-js (which finds the highest quality copy from Youtube/Youtube Music), Nicotine+ (frontend for soulseek) or check against Bandcamp and Soundcloud to see if your artists have uploaded there. Of course always support your favorite artists if you can, if not then 🤷‍♀️.

    If the tags for the music files are incorrect, I use Kid3 to correct them.
