I pay for Youtube premium as a carry-over from Google Music (back when it was called Youtube Red). I let it run because I enjoy the screen off feature when I'm driving. On my desktop uBlock Origin still blocks 340 scripts/trackers even when logged into Premium. They not only want to eye-rape us with ads, but they want to track the fuck out of us across the web.

I don’t know what to tell you then. 🤷‍♂️

I run almost exactly the same thing. Plex running in Proxmox VM with a GPU passthrough, and an OMV instance in Proxmox VM hosting all the data shares. Proxmox also hosts multiple Docker stacks for various instances. This is spread out over multiple bare metal boxes.

An then there are those that swing days and nights who are stuck in perpetual limbo. My sleep schedule sucks.

I just recently set up a reverse proxy with Nginx Reverse Proxy, and Cloudflare. I pointed my domain to my home address with Cloudflare (they have dynamic DNS capability), then set up NRP, to forward traffic by subdomain. The nice thing about the reverse proxy it is I can bind a subdomain to an ip:port on my local network. Like "music.!MYIP!.com" goes to my Navidrome instance "LOCALIP:4553". This allows me to close unnecessary outbound ports.

So did Samsung

I agree. I spun up Navidrome because it's free. Plexamp does require Plex Pass (which I pay for, but others don't)

And I said offline syncing a playlist (1-2Gb), not 400Gb. Max 1-2Gb. I have 1.8Tb of music that I can stream in the rural midwest at any given moment providing I have a signal, and about 3Gb synced to my phone when I don't have a signal. Plex is smart enough to buffer the next few song in your playback queue so it will play seamlessly through bad cellular coverage. Spotify and Tidal work the same way. Is selecting a subset of Spotify's catalog annoying?

What problem? 200 tracks times 4mb/track equals 1Gb. If you can't spare a couple gigs of storage, you need to delete some apps off your phone.

I store everything on an openmediavault nas and serve up using Plex, Navidrome, Audiobookshelf, and Calibre, all running in Docker containers.

I live in the rural midwest with spotty cell service. All of those services support manual offline syncing to store music on your phone. I set Plexamp to stream lossy over cellular, and it doesn't take long to cache an entire playlist when I do have a signal.

1.8Tb stored on an 8Tb NAS drive. Plenty of room for more music hoarding.
