Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again (www.engadget.com)

Spotify is officially raising its Premium subscription rates in the US come July, following reports of the move in April. The platform is increasing its Individual plan from $11 to $12 monthly and its Duo plan from $15 to $17 monthly — the same jump as last year's $1 and $2 price hikes, respectively. However, its Family plan...

Are they on Deezer? If so, look into deemix-gui.

I use the former. How does it compare to the other two?

No, development is still stalled. You need to pay if you want the really high bit rate flac downloads. I pay and can use Deezer as a backup to Jellyfin in the event there's a song I don't have and I'm driving. I was looking at music fab, but it's expensive, the Spotify downloader has worse quality, and doesn't grab the cover art, which is probably a deal breaker for me.

Haven't tested it, but I'm hoping Kodi works well. I'm waiting on my Vero V to arrive, which comes with OSMC (FOSS linux distro made to run Kodi).

Deezer (paid for flac - lossless files) + Deemix-gui + Jellyfin + Symfonium works quite well. Though you need to have a media server, so not exactly a drop-in replacement.

I'm not too familiar with roon. As for proper metadata, I've not had any problems with MusicBrainz's metadata grabber. It's a built-in plugin that comes with Jellyfin. Deemix uses your deezer account, which I believe requires the paid version if you want lossless flac files, and I have it configured to place the files in my Media share, which Jellyfin reads from. Symfonium is the android client I use that works with selfhosted media servers.

I have no issues with Jellyfin + Symfonium, but I also cache my songs offline. I almost never play a track that hasn't been downloaded.

I've had issues with duckdns failing over the past year or so (their server going down - outages). I guess it could be something on my side, but it happened often enough that I switched to my own domain. Haven't had any outages since, and I can use subdomains now for routing.
