Make that 199,999,999 paid subscribers, as I am leaving Spotify, and completely ditching the eternal subscription models. Who's with me? Can we get a post now about setting up Lidarr and making your own Plexamp server for family and friends?

Nah. I like being able to hear that something exists, search for it, and play it. I'd still have a Netflix account too if they had the same experience

As for the post.. go for it mate

Not comparable to Spotify, because you effectively need to illegally download the entire known music library to self host? It would definitely be the better experience, Plexamp is great, but it's not even really comparable to streaming services like Spotify, whom you effectively are leasing rights to songs through.
Isn’t that where lidarr comes in?
Sorry - staying with streaming. I've discovered and been able to legitimately listen to so many great smaller artists with these services that I never would have otherwise.
