Likewise. I've been running my own Jellyfin server and listening to media using Sonixd and FinAmp since the beginning of this year. It was surprisingly easy to set up on my raspberry pi, and I'm really enjoying no subscription and no dark patterns in my music apps. It really bothers me how companies convert people to subscription services, then twist the knife in ever deeper with scummy dark patterns. I would have been happy with Spotify's old app from 2015 or so pretty much indefinitely... but they just have to shove podcasts in every crevice of the app in the name of profit. And the app continues to get laggier and buggier every month (oh, how I grew to loathe that spinning green circle). I understand that they're trying to survive, but when I can literally run a more reliable music streaming stack from my living room with FOSS, I question their technical prowess. And boy does it make me wonder what those thousands of engineers are up to. |
