Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that (blog.nfreak.tv)

Full disclosure, I'm pretty new to selfhosting myself, and I haven't written a guide like this before, but hopefully this scatterbrained writeup is enough for someone out there lmao

This is just what works for me and how I set it up. Always open to ideas for improvement as well.

I've tried to get away from Spotify for years and the reality is the competition still sucks. I still have Tidal and YT music subscriptions but 90% of my music is on Spotify. I don't know why is it so hard to match this.

Self hosting music is absolutely not worth it though it seems like that's the only way to match Spotify quality of the experience.

I've honestly never understood people who feel the need to "replace" Spotify. I just download the music I like to my device and listen to it via VLC. If I want to discover new music in genres I like, I'll go and listen either to a terrestrial radio station, Soma.FM, or Pandora (which has many of Spotify's issues for me, but serves more as a platform for discovery of obscure music). The rare times I listen to music, I'm usually going somewhere on mass transit, or I'm on foot. And during those times, my phone is either fully turned off (so I'll use an MP3 player), or it's in Airplane Mode. Spotify has never made sense for my use-case.
