Replacing TV and movie streaming services is pretty trivial, and typically one of the first projects for any new self-hoster, but music streaming services are a whole different beast. There’s a growing need to replace the likes of Spotify, but there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, and maintaining an on-disk music library will always be a lot of manual work. That being said, I’ve put together a stack that I’m happy with for now, and there was some interest in the full details, so I’ll try to slap together a tutorial here.

    Yeah, it really expensive (I have spent 300€ at least to rebuilt my library) but on the other hand you own the media, there are couple of albums that Spotify didn’t have or deleted over time. It cheaper to go to subscription but your never know when the service stop deliver the product that you want. And at leat bandcamp give a large amount to tge artist instead of misery of Spotify revenue.
