I want to move away from Spotify. What are some ways to have a personal music library where you can organise into playlists and play those playlists on shuffle?
YouTube rips, SoundCloud rips, torrents from those disgruntled with streaming.
audiophiles probably hate me but a lot of my locally downloaded music is just youtube rips
My wife does that too. I don't mind some audio quality loss because i hate the idea of my music taking up tons of unnecessary drive space when I can't even tell the difference between 192kbps and 320kbps bitrate anyway. But i like controlling the quality reduction myself so it's at least consistent, so i'll usually download higher quality rips and then scale them down. Also, YouTube uploads can be inconsistent with their volume levels which is very annoying.
Use replay gain (track based), it helps a lot, you just need an audio player that supports it. Foobar2000 does, and also allows you to apply replay gain to any download music you have.
i use a combination of musicbee on desktop, vlc on mobile, and syncthing to sync between them, love it. let me know if you have any questions
