Oh there are tools to download from spotify directly ;)
They pretend to be a player, download the songs into the offline cache and decrypt them using your login credentials.
I can DM them if you're interested. It's interesting because yt music premium still only givey you 256kbit/s but spotify premium goes up to 320kbit/s
Okay so this is for subsonic, well subsonic is a paid service so i'm not really in favor of that :D
But this would check two of my three points. I tried their demo but didn't find anything for "instant mix / song radio" do you know if it has something like that?
The clients i use all can use getSimilarSongs API so worth a shot i guess... depends on how good navidrome handles that because jellyfin surely sucks at it :D
I love jellyfin with all my heart. It's an amazing application but it's really really barebones when it comes to music sadly.
For my mobile player i use symfonium and it's awesome.
I'd really love to use navidrome but those spotify playlist's are really important to me lol. Spent a few good years of curating into them and i'd would be way too much work to rebuild them by hand. Also expanding on those playlists is super comfortable with spotify, downloading the playlist and just syncing it.
Do you use the "instant mix" "song radio" of navidrome? (does it even have one?) and if yes, how do like it?
to be fair, it's more of a gimmick when using it in your home. I have a notebook that i use to test out new distros on and i can hook it up to my LAN and quickly install something without whipping out the USB stick.
Also the mini gaming pc hooked to my TV is a victim of being reinstalled every couple months after i tinker around too much.
Yeah but as far as i know, unraid doesn't really do anything that for example TrueNAS Scale can't do? And TrueNAS is free and really rock-solid.
So if someone doesn't want to host an Ubuntu Server i'd recommend checking out TrueNAS Scale and simply throwing some dockers at it
