    That’s so sweet of them to remind people to start hosting their own subsonic servers already

      I have been doing that for around 10 years already, when I bought my first NAS with Docker capability.

      I keep all my music locally. Ultrasonic app on the go.

      Can someone give me a rundown (or link to a good one) of a comparison between subsonic, jellyfin, plex, and these other services that let you host your own streaming service?

        Here’s the short and sweet.

        SoulSeek - an ancient p2p filesharing system that… For some reason, copyright companies don’t care about, but until they do, there it is and it’s awesome.

        Funkwhale - federated dudes all sharing music together, yeah, some of it is copyrighted because of course it is, also an audio server so you get that too.

        Jellyfin - Great and modern. Makes a good music server by itself. Only reason it really wins over subsonic and the like is support and upkeep. A lot of subsonic apps are dead.

        Plex - Jellyfin (but with corporate overlords)

        Find music on SoulSeek, host on Jellyfin, Funkwhale or whatever *sonic fork is still updated, ???, profit is basically the game. Some people also find utility with apps that strip music directly from Tidal and Spotify. Your mileage may vary.
