Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? - Lemmy.zip

What’s the deal? Are people just going to continue to pay a never-ending rising cost of streaming? Surely this model can’t keep up, and I highly doubt people are listening to essentially the diverse catalog of music for that price. I’m willing to bet most people listen to the equivalent of a couple CDs in a month. Are you guys just gonna keep paying for YouTube music as the price tops to $30 a month? Seems like every week these clowns are raising their prices.

I am streaming my music, but from my own server at home.

What’s your preferred client? I switched from plexamp to fintunes, but I really hate the app and the lack of functionality.

Plexamp. It does everything I want flawlessly, so I really have no desire to switch.

Yeah, I just switched to Jellyfin because of the Plex updates to their accounts, but I miss Plexamp. I considered running both Jellyfin and Plex just for plexamp, but I’m wary that they might eventually paywall remote audio streaming, too.

Oh, I didn’t even realise music was exempt from those changes. I’m sure glad I got the lifetime pass when it was cheap.
