Ok so I'm fucking done with streaming generally and #AppleMusic specifically. The greyed out songs are actually purchases from the iTunes days, supposedly DRM-free. But #Apple won't sync them because I’ve moved countries? Fuck that shit.

Any recommendations for DRM-free music stores, and for music library management on #macOS and #iOS? (Bonus points for #Linux!) I know of bandcamp but even vaguely mainstream selection is lacking. (Edit: should be local-first/local-only.)

@jni After years of searching, I just started usung Doppler as my localized Music player. It's very simple, clean, and easy to use on both MacOS and iOS. (I can't help you with streaming replacements....)

A microSD card in your phone can hold more music than you'd ever have time for. Android phones are good for that. The Auxio app from the F-Droid FOSS store works well enough to sift through and play it.

If you have an iPhone instead ... try a raspberry Pi on your home, with an NVMe cover, and a very simple web page to play all your music straight from your home via the browser. Don't ask me how I know ...

And if you are looking for mp3/flac files of music you "own" because you paid for it but streaming services won't yield it to you, remember the IRC undernet.org exists.

For completion, I've put the code up online:

A very simple server to stream music from your home closet to your phone via a web browser.

The webpage is a sortable and searchable DataTable where each row is a music song. Click on a row to play a song. The metadata was scrapped from my music files using ffprobe and a couple of python scripts to format the output.

Truly an MVP jukebox that runs on a Raspberry Pi 5.

@albertcardona that’s cool, but I’m only interested in local-first solutions. I find that pervasive connectivity is still not quite pervasive enough, while storage is cheap.
