This is a post about the whole path it took me to get from the old days of Google Music to Navidrome, and some views on the topic. Maybe this is something that interest you, in this case give a read.

All feedback is welcome.

    I fell through a similar rabbit hole going from YouTube -> Spotify -> light sailing -> YouTube -> Spotify -> Nextcloud + Navidrome

    I followed a pretty similar route to what you’ve outlined! After my discovery stints on YouTube I stumbled into premium spotify, once premium was ending I converted my entire 2.6k songs from Spotify to local copies. Setting up nextcloud and adding the nc-music plugin, with Symphonium as an android client fixed my Spotify niche quite nicely. I’ve rediscovered bandcamp again recently and can’t wait to start actually purchasing and owning music I enjoy.

    I think its also interesting to ponder ones own rules for what you’d consider ethical consumption.
