The minute I have ads in my paid subscription it's a cancel

Exactly why I canceled Amazon Prime. 100% would recommend canceling. I don’t miss it.

Likewise. I've been putting off setting up a Soulseek+Navidrome stack on my home server. I'm sure there's a way to integrate ListenBrainz suggestions too. First ad I hear, I'm doing it.

Soulseek for the win what is navidrome, i'm unfamiliar.

[–] Peruvian_Skies@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

It's a self-hosted music streaming server. Basically a build-your-own-Spotify. Available as a Docker image.

Hell yeah, today is the day

I use Navidrome and scrobble to ListenBrainz and Last.fm for suggestions. I've recently learnt about Sonobarr but haven't tried it yet.

It's not as seamless as playing a song/artist station on spotify or just letting it decide what to continue with at the end of a playlist, but it's also free (in both ways!).

Thanks a lot for the tips!

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

I think you can integrate lidarr into SoulSeek too.

Can't talk about navidrome, but jellyfin has a listenbrainz plugin :)

[–] Peruvian_Skies@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

I use Jellyfin for video but it doesn't strike me as the best for audio...

Yeah same here, I've been procrastinating while I gradually build my collection of mp3s/flacs, but the second I hear an ad on Spotify I'm done.
