    It’s $3/month more than Spotify, and you get both music and videos. That doesn’t seem that bad to me? Tidal is probably a better deal though, since it’s cheaper and all plans come with lossless (FLAC).

    I’ve been using a Plex server with my own ripped CDs for a while. Jellyfin is good too. If you listen to the same music a lot of the time, why pay a monthly fee when you can just buy the album once, rip it to your server, and listen to it forever?

      I’m with you. I save copies of all my music files externally.

      For those who still want to stream though, use Metrolist. Works exactly the same as Spotify and is a FOSS/No Ads product. I made a YT video about it recently.

      Cheaper than spotify when you consider you get both YT Music and YT at the same time. So when you are watching YT you are not wasting money on music and when you are listening to music you ain’t wasting YT money.

      Here in Latvia I pay 19.99€ (24$) for family plan, wouldn’t be a problem if they raised by couple euros. I’m getting price rises everywhere right now because of dram shortage. My hetzner vps got bumped up by 2€ because of dram
