What’s the deal? Are people just going to continue to pay a never-ending rising cost of streaming? Surely this model can’t keep up, and I highly doubt people are listening to essentially the diverse catalog of music for that price. I’m willing to bet most people listen to the equivalent of a couple CDs in a month.
Are you guys just gonna keep paying for YouTube music as the price tops to $30 a month? Seems like every week these clowns are raising their prices.
I am streaming my music, but from my own server at home.
What’s your preferred client? I switched from plexamp to fintunes, but I really hate the app and the lack of functionality.
Jellyfin + Symfonium is such a great experience
Jellyfin has pretty good Linux PC clients too. Even the main Jellyfin client works well for music.
Thanks!
I’ve been using mpd (Music Player Daemon), originally with icecast bc it didn’t have built-in http streaming, but it has for a long time now, 10+ years.
Plexamp. It does everything I want flawlessly, so I really have no desire to switch.
Yeah, I just switched to Jellyfin because of the Plex updates to their accounts, but I miss Plexamp. I considered running both Jellyfin and Plex just for plexamp, but I’m wary that they might eventually paywall remote audio streaming, too.
Oh, I didn’t even realise music was exempt from those changes. I’m sure glad I got the lifetime pass when it was cheap.
Seconded on Plexamp; there is no other streaming client that will let you play your own music that’s close.
