I thought I had hit reply on your other comment going into more detail (whoops!).
Like I did in this example, ask if people are open to feedback (if you're the one giving it).
Often when I am training groups on how to work together, I always try and frame feedback as a gift.
If someone is giving you feedback, they are genuinely trying to help you grow - and that's a gift. The issue here though, is not everyone is a good gift giver - and we can't control that.
What we do have control over is how we recieve gifts - often all you need to do is say thank you. Don't explain why you're not going to use this feedback (if you plan not to incorporate it). Other than clarifying the feedback to better understand how to incorporate it, saying thank you is the best way to go about it.
As far as delivering feedback I always say "if you can choose to be anything in this world why choose anything other than kind."
It is important to state that "being kind" doesn't mean not having the difficult conversations or delivering difficult feedback - you can still do that without being cruel. Being assertive isn't being aggressive.
A bit rambly but if you're ever working with folx on delivering feedback, I've found that presenting these frameworks with it ste super helpful
Are you open to some additional thoughts / feedback on feedback / constructive criticism?
If you're okay doing a little bit of legwork: Whatbox.ca as a remote service that you can upload (or download torrents) directly to it. I think they're Canadian but I'm not 100% - just has a lot of good guides to get you up and running.
I'm a fan of Plex, but they are an American company and they continue to enshitify with their policies - I bought a lifetime pass a long time ago because I really enjoyed their music player plexamp.
Jellyfin is the free and open source option, but I don't think you'll get some of the nice features like music analysis and a library radio that tries to pull things together in a somewhat comprehensive way.
This is my music solution. If you're listening at lossless and only have 1000 albums their smallest option is 2tb(€14/mo) server slot which would likely be hosted in NL.
RE: risk tolerance if you've got the know how you can set this up on a locally hosted server using Jellyfin and torrent directly to it. Advantage of a seedbox is the transfer of risk.
What's your budget and what's your risk appetite?
what are you goals with having a music streaming service (IE: just to play albums you know or discover new artists)?
I think someone was making something similar but was a two handed thing that attarched to magnetic hip clips.
in 2010 as well...
curious as to your recommendations?
seems like all the links for the paper are dead...

Wasn't matrix developed by Amdocs initially? which has ties to the Israeli intelligence infrastructure?
This combined with the collection of metadata would be a redflag for me.
