That’s so sweet of them to remind people to start hosting their own subsonic servers already
Can someone give me a rundown (or link to a good one) of a comparison between subsonic, jellyfin, plex, and these other services that let you host your own streaming service?
Here’s the short and sweet.
SoulSeek - an ancient p2p filesharing system that… For some reason, copyright companies don’t care about, but until they do, there it is and it’s awesome.
Funkwhale - federated dudes all sharing music together, yeah, some of it is copyrighted because of course it is, also an audio server so you get that too.
Jellyfin - Great and modern. Makes a good music server by itself. Only reason it really wins over subsonic and the like is support and upkeep. A lot of subsonic apps are dead.
Plex - Jellyfin (but with corporate overlords)
Find music on SoulSeek, host on Jellyfin, Funkwhale or whatever *sonic fork is still updated, ???, profit is basically the game. Some people also find utility with apps that strip music directly from Tidal and Spotify. Your mileage may vary.
I prefer navidrome https://www.navidrome.org/ over Jellyfin for music as I find it much more responsive and it has extra features like smart playlists. Just adding an extra opinion for those interested.
So their tactic is boasting about breaking mods and making idle threats to try and scare normies while doing what they’ve been doing, applying fixes and having new modded versions come out that work just fine?
They did this same thing saying they’d ban people for blocking ads a while back, also astroturfed to hell on Reddit trying to scare people. Ultimately nothing really came from it except a whole lot of fear mongering.
I’m happy i just ditched spotify.
XManager mod still works for me
I’m still able to use Spotify with Spicetify and its Adblock. Same about EeveeSpotify for IOS.
Spotify makes press release about stopping modified apps so that users list all the apps that are working.
gotta spend all their time going after users instead of using the millions they get from a transphobic podcaster to actually pay artists and improve the user experience
