You guys still don't own your music?
Laughs in Lidarr
- KMnO4 4y agoSounds like you don’t own your music either.
- ubercow13 4y agoNeither in some sense do people who own physical media, eg. a CD.
- Godel_unicode 4y agoI’m what sense is that, exactly? I can sell my discs, play them however often and in whatever device I want. I can also rip as many times as I want onto as many computers as I want.
- ubercow13 4y agoIn the sense that you own the physical CD but only have a license to use the music on it. Ripping a CD is not legal in many countries including UK and probably the US [1], so do you 'own' the music any more than someone who has pirated it? I guess, in some sense.

- pdntspa 4y agoThe license is meaningless if you hold the physical bits and choose to ignore everything else
- bobleeswagger 4y agoLicenses are meaningless, period.
- harry8 4y ago{L,}GPLv{2,3} has corporate lawyers consistently shitting themselves. I derive meaning from this.
- pdntspa 4y agoThey play that game because they have to. Your average Joe is not going to be sued for ignoring a license. A law is only as good as its enforcement.
- Godel_unicode 4y agoThen I hate to break it to you but that’s totally not true. It might have PMs or engineers shitting themselves, but the lawyers don’t really care. It’s just not a big deal.
- swexbe 4y agoOwnership is a social construct. The leviathan can come and take away your bits at any time.
- bobleeswagger 4y agoThere's only one way to own it. Work smart, not hard.
- darknavi 4y agoWhich front end do you use to listen? I am really digging Plex Amp these days.
- bobleeswagger 4y agoSubsonic server with play:Sub as a client. Nice and lightweight.
- anaganisk 4y agoIf plex amp gets rid of its 1000 songs limit, Im in, too. I am very happy with syncthing+powerAMP setup on android.
- sphars 4y agoNavidrome (Subsonic/Airsonic server) with Symfonium Android app.
- nvarsj 4y agoPlexamp is great. Even has built in EQ so I can use autoeq profiles on iOS etc. Reminds me a lot of Winamp of old.
- abhinickz 4y agoI use Jellyfin [0] server on pi with tailscale, So I can access all media anywhere (DLNA also), and I can use DAC for high-res music (Android: USB Audio Player Pro [1]) as well.

- stavros 4y agoAs someone who does own his music, but has Spotify for convenience: What OSS app provides a good experience across my Linux desktop and Android mobile? I rip my own songs, but I want something that's better than Spotify to listen to it. Then again, I listen to music on my Alexa too, so I think it would be hard for something to interface with that.
- bobleeswagger 4y agoNavidrome should be plenty, but it's just a subsonic server with a simple web front end. You can use any subsonic compliant client for Android, there's plenty. I had Navidrome hooked up to my Sonos system as a test. Ultimately you are at the mercy of the walled gardens if you choose to use them, some are free-er than others.
- stavros 4y agoThank you, I tried Plexamp and Jellyfin but neither worked well. I'll try Subsonic, that's a very good suggestion, thanks!
