    Back to Piracy! ✊🏴‍☠️

    Really though? It isn’t necessary. Use Bandcamp, you probably have half your artists covered. The rest - one of those Spotify alternatives: Tidal? Qobuz?

    Personally I do selfhost btw. Jellyfin, though I heard of a better alternative specifically for music recently - and forgot the name again 😥 Something lowercase, like a verb… “normalize” or some such. Navidrome! Thanks @0konomiyaki@aussie.zone

      Navidrome maybe? But I use jellyfin + symfonium myself. All my music is either bandcamp or used CDs. Started collecting music late last year and my entire collection is legally sourced now. No piracy required. Hardest part was starting very small and building the collection over time.

        Yes! Navidrome!

        used CDs

        I get them dirt cheap or completely for free. It’s actually reverse piracy (no I’m not serious) since no doubt the previous owners ripped everything.

        I would suggest Qobuz (if available) or Tidal. Deezer’s CEO is a hard-core religious nutjob who finances anti-trans orgs and sexual conversion “therapies”.

          Sorry for replying to an old comment, but do you have some source to support this? I am searching online but finding nothing :(

            I’ll be honest with you - I read that from someone else either here or on Reddit (and they provided some links that looked legit), but I also can’t find it anymore. Maybe it was about the previous CEO, the original founder? Not sure, so you can ignore that whole part when choosing a streaming service.

            I’d still pick Qobuz because of how much more they pay artists, though.
