Looking for a music solution

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 have a Squeezebox Classic, so I started with Logitech Media Server. It'snnow slimserver (open source), so I use that. However, it's pretty end of live, so I'm lookingbfora replacement as well for my player. (Love the device)

For playback (ie, self host your own streaming service), you want Airsonic or Navidrome, with any Subsonic compatible app on your devices.

You can also go Jellyfin with Finamp, but it's a video service first, whereas the others are much more audio focused.

For audiobooks and podcasts, Audiobookshelf. It has its own app.

For downloading music, you want Lidarr or Headphones. Fair warning, the music torrenting scene really died off with Spotify, so you'll probably want to get on some Usenet groups to have good sources for the releases you want.

If you want to add audiobooks, Readarr can apparently handle that.

+1 for Navidrome and any *sonic client. Been using this setup with Wireguard for years.

Another +1 for navidrome here. Been using it for years now too, it's great

I'll plug another subsonic compatible server here: gonic. It does not have a web player ui, which saves on RAM. And it is really fast too.

Plex with Plexamp works really well. Downloading you’ll have to figure out your source for that. There’s many. Ripping straight from Deezer was best when I was doing it. (Deemix when I was going this route).

Meh, Plex is a shady company and there's tons of good, open source options available

Yep everyone making money is shady.

Open Source or Die!!!!!!! /s

quafeinum ,

Yes, but it works and has support on most devices. I don’t need tons of opensource, I need one that works and that normal people can use.

I know this isn't what you're looking for, but I got a family plan from Google for music and split it with 6 family members, which is probably the same as apple music I assume.

I don't have to mess with download anymore.

Lidarr is only one I know.

Yeah it’s the same. Apple Music is fine, it’s not a problem, I just thought I’d self host it :)
