Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that (blog.nfreak.tv)

Full disclosure, I'm pretty new to selfhosting myself, and I haven't written a guide like this before, but hopefully this scatterbrained writeup is enough for someone out there lmao

This is just what works for me and how I set it up. Always open to ideas for improvement as well.

Spotify has a feature where if it is playing on another device, you can control it with any other device logged into the account, is there any good way to replicate this with a linux desktop and an android phone?

That's something I've struggled to find so far unfortunately. Maybe something exists but I haven't found an answer yet.

It really is spotify's killer feature for me, probably won't switch to something that doesn't have it.

Jellyfin has a remote control feature that lets you do something like this, I use it quite a lot for music.

Maybe Navidrome's jukebox mode, although I suspect it's a slightly different idea (and it was a bit buggy last time I tried it).

This setup is very similar to mine

Might be worse than Spotify when it comes to privacy but YT Music with Adblock is great. And AFAIK they have better music quality.

Thank you for writing this. The past month I spent some time trying to look for a way to import listenbrainz playlists to jellyfin/navidrome but I was not finding anything. Explo is awesome!

Another tool I discovered yesterday is sptnr, which leverages the spotify API and converts Spotify's popularity to Navidrome star ratings. This allows me to go to an artist and sort by rating descending, which actually becomes popularity descending.

Now I'm using jellyfin mainly because the listenbrainz plugin allows scrobbling favorites, while navidrome does not support this. If anyone knows a way to scrobble favorites from navidrome to listenbrainz I would really appreciate it.

Couple of questions about the directory structure: why separate library folders? Can't they play off a central library and wouldn't something like Overseer take care of requests?
