Hi Selfhosted,

I am looking for the best solution to replace spotify for at home and out of the house music.

I already have a large music library and run moOde for multiroom audio and use spotify connect to cast to it.

Is my best option to set up an MPD server and wireguard vpn to use it on the go? Are there other options? What would you recommend?

      Plexamp is pretty great. Plex was functional when it came to music but plexamp’s features and ui really makes it feel like my own spotify

          Plexamp was launched twice, first as a Plex Labs desktop-only app, then completely overhauled as a cross-platform app with 'droid and iOS releases.

          It has changed a lot since, the UX is much smoother now, with tons of new settings + features implemented. There’s no other selfhosted solution that comes close IMO

          UI is still a bit complicated. Plex uses its own implementation called loudness leveling rather than replaygain. I’ve found it to be just as good for the most part.

      Same but Jellyfin. I don’t keep anything outside of shit that’s not easily streamable on demand.

      Yeah, it’s mostly videogame music and J-metal.
