Ditching Spotify and YT Music
Ditching Spotify and YT Music
Trying to ditch YouTube Music & Spotify for self-hosted music has been a struggle. I've subscribed to YT Premium today.
Here's how my attempts have gone:
- Nextcloud Music (with Recognize): The web UI is great, has all the features I need. Downside: no transcoding and playback through Subsonic or Ampache clients is slow, sometimes causing server issues.
- Jellyfin: Streaming works fine, but it doesn't recognize individual artists (my files are in one big folder, so albums are jumbled).
- Navidrome: Similar to Jellyfin, artist recognition is off and playback isn't as smooth.
I'll try Plexamp next. What else should I try?
All of my songs are stored in NextCloud.
