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.

FLACs

on a phone

in SD card

¿???? it's not like you're going to be able to autism at a -0.0002dB disparity on the trumpets channel with those audio chips, why not just store the files there as opus or MP3 for ~6x more capacity? (not to mention faster overall reads)

Because I stuck a 1TB sd card in my phone and don't have to deal with transcoding or dealing with, well, anything, but copying new files over and listening to things.

I've developed quite the liking for stupidly simple solutions, and 'copy the files to a sd card' is about as simple as it gets.

OPUS is such a delightful format I transcoded my FLACs just for fun.

OPUS is such a delightful format

Agreed. My audiobook library was transcoded from various formats to 32kbit OPUS and they still sound about the same.

Shocking how decent it is with spoken voice and stupid low bitrates.

I've been using ogg vorbis for music since about the mid 2000s. In the begining I was ripping them from my CD collection using grip on mandrake Linux (anyone remember?)

Nowadays I download vorbis direct from bandcamp.

Recently I compared 192 kbps vorbis files to FLACs and couldn't discern the difference, which I'm happy about since my 15000 file collection can fit on a very cheap 128GB SD card in my phone.

I use syncthing to sync music to my phone automatically.

Really happy with the setup.
