Your guide to a new Music Streaming service (Reworked)

https://lemmy.world/post/31413645

i decided to self host my library in as high of a res I could.

I had a FiiO X3 anyway so i already had a FLAC capable player.

in the end, even if i know it's not for everyone. selfhosting is the only way to never lose what u love. so many of my lesser known tracks are just gone on spotify.

Never lose as long as you have a good backup strategy.

Very True, that is one of the few things people don't realize enough when starting selfhosting. Backups and documenting what you did.

I have a raid NAS keeping my data in-house which has an encrypted backup in the cloud (Infomaniak kdrive) and my FiiO X3 SD card which is an additional portable backup. So on that front, I don't worry too much.
