          No, it’s not. Even more so if you like your artists.

            Buy their merch rather than feeding the beast

              Even if that was ok, I’m sure people who pirate buy a ton of merch from all the artists they pirate, that’s why all those artists get a ton of money.

      Yeah. Just started my self hosting journey a few months ago, looking to replace Spotify at some point. I got a NAS with Jellyfin set up, my next step is replacing Google photos with Immich probably.

      I do appreciate Spotify will be adding lossless music soon, but they have so many other issues.

      Mostly for random song discovery considering my previously liked songs, I regularly download/obtain those songs I like for offline reproduction and preservation… online stuff has short lifes
