Hello everyone I've been looking for a solution to replace Spotify, for me and my family. I already self-host some services, such as Jellyfin and Sonarr/Radarr For music however, my actual setup is the following :

  • synchronize my music folder on my phone with my NAS
  • download on the phone or on my computer However, I struggle with finding new music and having an easy way to add music.

From what I've read, Bandcamp could let me buy some music and add it to my collection (however all artists aren't on bandcamp) There also seem to be a consensus around Navidrome for a music server.

But how can I set it up so that each member of my family has a separate account (with different musics in it), still discover new songs and easily add them? I've looked into Lidarr (not a lot I have to admit) but it seems like it's mainly for downloading full albums, more than just songs. Is that the case?

TLDR: What self-hostable services can I use to replace Spotify, so that each member of my family has its own instance, recommendations and downloads?

Thank you in advance and sorry for my English

You might wanna check out spotube, which uses the spotify API for playlists but plays tracks through Youtube. Might be useful for inspo

Definitely a cool project! Can crack it open to get some API insights. The goals don't quite line up for me, as I eventually want to actually get the tracks into my Plex setup. Additionally, I'm after a more "assisted curation" where I actively consider new artists and thumbs ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘Ž to let them through, rather than trying to make a radio type feature that passively plays new stuff.

Ahhh I get you. Yeah this one just piggybacks off the spotify radio feature I think
