Replace Spotify (lemmy.today)

Hi Selfhosted,

I am looking for the best solution to replace spotify for at home and out of the house music.

I already have a large music library and run moOde for multiroom audio and use spotify connect to cast to it.

Is my best option to set up an MPD server and wireguard vpn to use it on the go? Are there other options? What would you recommend?

My entire media library is sitting on a NAS, fed to me through a Plex instance in docker. Works great

Plexamp is pretty great. Plex was functional when it came to music but plexamp's features and ui really makes it feel like my own spotify

I tried it very briefly, when it still brand new, because the regular client didn't support replaygain. Found the UI/UX quite complicated, because of the super minified controls. Has anything changed in terms of that?

Plexamp was launched twice, first as a Plex Labs desktop-only app, then completely overhauled as a cross-platform app with 'droid and iOS releases.

It has changed a lot since, the UX is much smoother now, with tons of new settings + features implemented. There's no other selfhosted solution that comes close IMO

UI is still a bit complicated. Plex uses its own implementation called loudness leveling rather than replaygain. I've found it to be just as good for the most part.

Love plexamp, hate the way plex forces album-centric metadata.
