Browsing the Jellyfin site, I don't understand. Seems like you still have to collect and manage your music.
I was a latecomer to Spotify and now I can't go back. I've discovered more great music via it than I would ever have imagined. No it's not perfect, but still beats the old way of doing it manually.
- teeray 2y ago> you still have to collect and manage your music This is where the *arrs come in. Specifically Lidarr [0]. EDIT: it's not the exact same experience, but it's better than manual management. [0] https://wiki.servarr.com/lidarr/quick-start-guide https://wiki.servarr.com/lidarr/quick-start-guide
- crtasm 2y agoI've never felt need to try those - just put albums I've bought from e.g. Bandcamp into my Jellyfin music directory, they're automatically scanned and available in seconds.
- cholantesh 2y agoThe discovery is great, but when I add music to my library, I'd like it to just be there, and I'm not able to guarantee that with Spotify. On any given day, for any arbitrary reason (okay mainly licensing and geography), music may disappear from my library, so I end up having to listen to it on Youtube or Bandcamp or pirate it. As others mentioned, Lidarr helps with this.
- decafninja 2y agoUnderstandable. I do have some songs I'd like to ensure perpetual availability, but they're few in number enough that I may go buy them separately, but still use Spotify as my main consumption medium. I've also found that I'm able to both discover and listen to songs in some genres via Spotify that I've historically found difficult to acquire anywhere else.
