What’s your recommendation for listening to music privately?

My requirements are: open source desktop/web (Linux) and android app. I also want basically every song I would ever want.

I’m willing to pay just not on agregious amount of money.

If you are posting your recommendation please care to include the tradeoffs or any annoyances you got from it.

Thanks all!

    The real problem is getting the music

    Is have a Spotify playlist of some 7000+ songs I want to have but finding each one individually is a nightmare. Are there ways to just put the list into some arr system and have it automatically torrented or pulled from Usenet or something like that?

    Self-host Navidrome. Choose any of the clients that you like. Pirate stuff from big bands, buy stuff from smaller bands.

    Cons: You’d have to deal with storage and hosting and access from outside your house e.g. with Tailscale. You’d also have to tag incorrectly tagged songs (surprisingly common issue, sometimes pirates tag stuff better than the bands themselves)
