I’m in a dilemma, I think ownership of media is important, but the convenience of Spotify and the algorithm of new music that it suggests has helped me find amazing artists that I wouldn’t have heard of otherwise.

Fellow sailors, what are your thoughts, and how do you personally listen to music?

    I have Ampache running on a self hosted server, which has desktop and mobile apps.

    Maybe its a generational thing but I prefer having a Plex / Plexamp serveur with all my music as FLAC on my home server. I can better curate my collection and it’s available everywhere.

      Plexamp is awesome, and the UI/UX is gorgeous in my opinion!

    Local library. I don’t want to pay for things I don’t own. Streaming services also can remove/ disable music any time. I also don’t need recommendation algorithms I think they are biased. I can easily discover new artists on blogs
