any good alternatives out there? or better to start hosting music on my media server?

Another for Deezer. In the last couple months, I've tried Tidal, Qobuz and Deezer. Qobuz seems the best if you're into music and building your own playlists. They pay the best royalties and do a bunch of human curating, including a weekly zine for current releases. They don't have an automatic playlist that I could find. Deezer has the best recommendation engine of the three, at least for the genres I listen to.

Are these things free and privacy friendly? Never heard of any of them

I've been on Qobuz for a while now. It's not quite as good as Spotify when it comes to catalogue or community playlists. Other than that, I haven't seen any AI slop or ghost musicians, and the suggestions are very human. I believe they pay about 4x royalties that Spotify does.
