Me, but with Plexamp.
(I’ll switch my music library to Jellyfin when they get Sonic Analysis.)
It’s somewhat there, I guess.
I’m on Navidrome for music, and use AudioMuse and its Navidrome plugin for (as far as I can tell) Sonic Analysis like functionality.
AudioMuse should be available for Jellyfin as well.
I might just be missing something, but I haven’t figured out how to make a playlist on the fly with audiomuse in symphonium. Just a playlist at my audiomuse IP. Which is something, but not accessible enough for me to actively use it. I assume and hope I’m just missing something
Grayjay for the win!
What app is the red one?
YouTube Music
I just moved to qobuz and although it’s missing some releases, the discovery is leagues beyond what Spotify has become.
I’ve found more new bands to follow in the past 3 months than in the prior 4 years of Spotify.
I’ll be laughing at both of you from my 300gb mp3 collection when the internet goes down
Same, the pricing and experience was similar but ad free YouTube was enough of an incentive to get me to swap
That was my thought before I stopped giving money to American companies. Another huge perk was the ability to add YouTube videos to music playlists for those odd songs that were never officially published.
A program like Musify scrapes the audio from YouTube videos. Lets you enjoy the music and availability without paying Googles
I use an alternate frontend to YouTube - PipePipe, and I see no ads and can listen to the audio with my phone locked.
I also use a FOSS music app called Musify that scrapes the audio off of YouTube videos. I can download the audio too.
Point is, don’t give Google money if you don’t have to!
“ad-free youtube”
Weird, my YouTube is always ad free, and I can skip sponsored content. Without paying a cent.
Ad blockers and sponsor block for desktop, and a revanced modified version of the youtube app and I haven’t seen a YouTube ad in several years.
Sure, I do this too, as well as pay for YouTube Premium, bc some of that goes back to the creators I watch every day 🤷♀️
It’s ublock origin + patreon for me, no doubt a much larger % goes to the creator that way
Really? You patreon every creator you watch? How many creators is that?
I Patreon the creators I’d be sad to see stop or change for monetary reasons, which is only 3 of them
The ones that are worth it and need support have their own ways to donate money to them, usually through a patron-like service.
$1/mo directly does a lot more than paying a company that is actively working on a late stage capitalism surveillance state.
Same, I might get YouTube premium tho to support the creators a bit
I’d rather give money more directly to content creators that deserve it. If they actually care, they’ll have ways to do so. I support a few on patreon or similar service for about $5/mo and that goes a lot further than handing youtube the money. Honestly at this point, “supporting creators” is just an excuse.
“Hmm, do I overpay for green fascism or red fascism?”
Where’s the blue one?
Amazon music is blue
At least for red facism you can use a patched apk and get all features (except download)
Use Metrolist
if I’m going to spend money on music, why not buy the music directly and own it for life?
i dont have enough storage or money to do that, otherwise i would
I’ve discovered so many artists because of Spotify, I need to give it credit where it’s due. And I have bought concert tickets and physical and digital media of artists that I have discovered solely because of Spotify. It is far from perfect, but there’s been an upside to my use.
So I do both, but I love finding new music.
Me but with Tidal
Tidal is the shit
This, but it’s mpd lol
As I always say: I am my own spotify.
CDs nuts
GOTTEM
I’m over here using Spotiamp to listen to my Spotify playlists through Winamp as a Shoutcast.
I prefer my music offline, thank you
If it’s just a matter of data usage, YT premium caches music and I set the quality lower when streaming on mobile, so it uses a negligible amount of data for me.
It’s a matter of “my cell phone is only connected to the internet when I’m at home or at work” + being free to move the files around without accounts or internet
I don’t like to think about how much time I’ve spent ripping CDs, but it’s better than being fed someone else’s algorithm or relying on a functional wireless connection to play my music.
I will say, I’ve discovered more music from small artists through recommendation algorithms than I otherwise would have, by a large amount. It’s one of the few areas where I’m fine with algorithmic recommendations, cause it’s not really trying to push me down a political rabbit hole to change who I am.
