I'd love to move to a Jellyfin server as well. I have everything ready, except a stable internet provider, haha.
Do you happen to integrate Lidarr into this? I am curious how seamless it is to add new songs with just a search.
I do use Lidarr! It pulls from the MusicBrainz database, so you can only really search and add tracks that were released as a single. My use-case is to use it to download albums and monitor new releases from my favourite artists, and it does a good job at that. I use https://github.com/JagandeepBrar/lunasea on my phone to add stuff to Lidarr, Sonarr, and Radarr.
What device are you wanting this for? If Android, I just stumbled upon ViMusic which looks like what you're lookinh for.
Yes, on Android. Thanks for this! ~~I initially brushed it off since I didn't see the "Import playlists" feature!~~ EDIT: It actually doesn't handle Spotify imports. I'll have to look around to find something that does that.
There's a web app I quite like called HyperPipe, which can be installed as a PWA on Android, iOS, Windows and Linux. It's similar to Beatbump, but this actually works!
This is awesome! Thanks for suggesting!
“I still have quite a few playlists that I would not like losing, though.”
I am a big fan of https://soundiiz.com/ for playlist backup/conversion. It has a free tier, but the paid tier is pretty cheap and definitely worth it.
This right here. Everytime I hop to a new service, I use soundizz. Works perfectly for me and I have a lot of Playlists. The free tier is pretty limited. I think it only let's you do 50 songs at a time, or something like that. It's worth it to pay for one month, transfer everything, and then cancel.
Amazon music is decent. Apple music is pretty good. Tidal is awesome, but last time I used them I thought their algorithms were kinda weak.
I actually use YouTube music myself because I have YouTube premium. I also use a yt-dl to download my music, and have it all backed up to a NAS.
Clementine on PC, on phone Vinyl from f-droid
foobar2000 on android
you could look into something like revanced it has options to patch yt music
@vandrw When I had a paid spotify subscription, I used ncspot - I'd highly suggest it if you want a terminal client for spotify.
Newpipe for streaming from YT, and i mostly listen to my local library through vlc and eliza
I like to use a mix of youtube revanced for saving music, and Spotify for finding new songs.
Xmanager can make an ad free modded apk of the spotify client. Keep your playlists.
YouTube through NewPipe, Tidal (it pays the most to the artists afaik), radio through RadioDroid, buy CDs or just download torrents.
