    I need to leave Apple Music. My OG archive of media is good for pre-2014 but anything else afterwards…. That’s a lot of mining to be done online aarrrrr

        Use NextDNS and block the requests. I don’t blame a company for trying to make money. I do respect that if you are paying for a service they should not embed crap like that

          I use PiHole/RethinkDNS, but that’s not the point. Of course a company wants to make money, that’s why I pay them a monthly amount for my subscription. If it’s not enough to have a successful business, then ask for more money. But don’t shove spyware up on me. Tidal does not include Facebook spyware, so Tidal it is.

    I’ve been running Navidrome + Symfonium for over 3 years and it replaced Spotify. The only thing they have over my setup is a near infinite number of playlists. But I do everything myself now, I’ve reconnected with my music.

    My main issue with Spotify was no lossless audio at the time, and many tracks weren’t on there, if they were they had a habit of disappearing. Now I can listen to any track, remix, bootleg, and even the 1700+ tracks my friend digitised from his vinyl collection until perpetuity.

    Symfonium, btw, is truly the best music streaming app, the customizability is beyond anything I’ve seen
