Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

YouTube (Google from Google music) showed the same ads, too
Fuck! Now I have to cancel my subscription! This sucks I guess time to set up music on my media server
Good idea. Also give Qobuz a try. I did that and it went very well.
I just tried this today, tested it and then signed up for the free trial.
Then the app just stops responding. Eventually when logging into my account on the site to try and figure out what broke it tells me it cant log me in through a vpn. Even tho it let me create the account and play music through one an hour ago.
Bad enough that it has this restriction (that spotify doesnt) but to make the app just not respond to input is awful.
Vpn is kind if a neccessity in the uk now if you ever want to see imgur so back to spotify :(
Jellyfin and Lidarr is a potent combo for managing and streaming a collection.
What does it look like on the phone/client end, if I'm comparing it to using Spotify? Is there a recommended app?
I never really used Spotify, so I can't make any direct comparisons, but one thing I can say is that Lidarr and Jellyfin will not help with exploring new music. They're things you host yourself, so they can only interact with your own collection.
Lidarr manages a music collection and works primarily through a web page. I've only personally used it on desktop, so I can't vouch for the mobile UI. Desktop UI seems good enough, no real complaints. You can use it to do things like index your collection, show what you may be missing, standardize folder structure, file names, and metadata tags, and automate downloads of missing content or upgrades for low quality content through bittorrent or Usenet. There might be third party apps to use it if you prefer, but I'm not aware of any since I never felt the need to look.
Jellyfin streams audio, video, and I think ebooks. It has a web client, too, but it also has official client apps for desktop and mobile. The UI is decent, pretty intuitive, no real complaints, but I feel like it could be improved somehow. Still, it works well, and it doesn't cause problems. However, Jellyfin has had some security vulnerabilities in the past, so I think it's recommended you not directly expose it to the internet. So instead of setting up port forwarding on your router, you'd want to use something like a VPN or maybe an SSH tunnel to get into the house from outside. That makes it a bit more technical to set up since you need that extra service to access it safely, but that's only necessary if you want access from outside the house.
This is the way! I did exactly this (with Plexamp) and I never want to go back.
