hello,

im really tired of google music and spotify, and want to self host my downloaded music and create my library.

however, i know nothing about self hosting. My knowledge is absolutely zero. And Im completely lost about how to self host my own music. Dont find any good tutorial for dummies and i have a lot of question. I dont understand nothing. I see the tutorials of Navidrome and Ampache and still understand nothing. All of that looks extremely complicated to me.

How can i self host my music? I need to pay something? A very old and slow pc is enough?

Im completely lost. If someone can suggest something - like a tutorial , dunno - to build/self host my own music I appreciate a lot.

What's wrong with just throwing MP3s on an SD card, or hard drive?

Edit: Love how I have 4 upvotes, 4 downvotes. So a pretty divicive statement I've made. Yet nobody has told me why mp3s on local storage is or is not a solution for self hosting music. No opinions shared, other than angry arrows in both directions.

Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool.

Files on a SD card is what I do. It's so simple.

MP3's are so old the patents have expired. OPUS is where it's at it ones going for lossy music compression nowadays.

Harddrives are a bit unpractical when listening on phones.

And please don't throw music onto storage devices, it's better to transfer them.

Better?
