Then why does the link to download the client lead to the MS Store instead of Github?

Your client is still Windows Store exclusive? That’s a hard pass from me.

Seconded. Not the cheapest solution, but worth the price.

Here we go again!

If you like the interface, check out Funkwhale. It’s a federated service based on Grooveshark, but you need to provide your own mp3/flac files.

And stop following trash like buzzfeed.

Just keep goimg back in time until they do. I think I had to go 2-3 snapshots back.

Archive.org also has backups of the repo on Github.

Those issues were related to Covid. It made perfect sense for them to focus on their corporate clients, who are their largest revenue source. I’ve also never heard anything bad about their customer service, nor the quality of the products or pricing.

Now that those supply issues have been solved, there’s no real reason to be wary of them. They make an incredible product at a fantastic price.

It has full support for Audiobooks, eBooks, and Podcasts as well as the usual Music/TV/Movies.

Get a Debrid Account, setup Stremio/Torrentio and you’re set.

Open Source or Die!!! /s

My music is stored on my real-debrid account, and I use Lidarr and Debrid Media Manager to manage it. For a player/streaming server I’m currently using Jellyfin, but I’ve used Navidrome and Plex in the past and found them to work great.

All my local music is stored on a NAS which Jellyfin also has access to.

edit: For the lazy there’s always SpotifyX for Desktop, and XManager for Android.

But then how would they get all the tech blogs to write about them?

A cheaper, albeit less secure alternative, is purchasing a domain and setting up a Cloudflare tunnel.

I did. That’s how I ended up with 300GB of Music. In the end my storage space was more valuable to me, and it frees up some of my server’s resources as well.

Once I discovered the Ad-Free patch for Spotify I shutdown my Lidarr. Much less hassle, and it freed up a solid 300GB of space on my NAS.

Holy shit, you’re absolutely batshit crazy.

Jesus Christ you belong on a list. Fucking insane dude.

The engine is Open Source, not the game itself. You still need to buy it.
