You can get the streams in the form of a playlist file.

Attach it to any subsonic player. Or probably VLC

Shit. Here I thought I was creative.

I use my alias butter. With either the device or the OS if I’m dual booting or distrohopping.

No ads, no masters.

There’s never been a worthwhile server with unskippable or unblockable ads.

How does one have a donation = no influence policy?

Huge companies donate to make open apps like this reliant on them. Then they threaten to pull the donation if that doesn’t happen…

Strong Copyleft licenses protect from this by allowing others to fork and keep an app going without being taken advantage of.

If Google donates 1 billion dollars tomorrow, and over several months, Ladybird will expand to use that money. Then Google can threaten to stop the donations unless LB does something like “make ad blockers worse”

It’s a web browser. The only money they will make is from donations. Unless they do something wonky with their business model, like charge. Then no one will use it anyway.

If you’re using qbittorrent, looking into Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr. And maybe even jellyseerr and recyclarr if you want to get into it.

I mean, this is correct.

But this is a laptop. Probably just had laying around

Never ran a speedtest. Fast enough

The best, most reputable VPN, Mullvad costs $5 USD. Plenty are cheaper than that if you pay in advance for a few years.

The cheapest streaming service will roughly double that.

As other’s have said Navidrome is the way to go. Not the most featureful, but it’s so much faster than every other solution that you make it work. It’s also very close to a huge update to support plugins and stuff.

I use the DSub app. Free from fdroid. Configured to download 10 songs in advance, for when I’m driving with spotty service, and download my favorites.

It also let’s you set different internal and external IP addresses, if you need that. I think most people do unless you run a DNS server.

Personally, I’m watching Volla.

Volla supports dual boot. Android and Ubuntu. Play with Ubuntu, work with Android.

Drive in theaters, soda fountains, and happy days still exist.

But they’ve mostly been improved upon

I like Material Design. It helps unify the experience of android.

Time to upvote and not donate.

Verifiably, at that. On device only. Works without play services. Works without internet (doesn’t even request internet permissions).

Also open source.

I have about 6 songs that I really like by the Beatles. Anything else I’ll end up skipping, no matter how hard I try.
