How to run programs sandboxed on a work pc (sh.itjust.works)

Not totally sure if this is the right spot to post but here goes,

SO wants to get rid of spotify. I am looking for alternatives. I did find Spotube which seems awesome on android, however they need to be able to run it on their work PC and our IT dept has to approve the program etc its stupid.

Is it possible to run something like spotube sandboxed off a flash drive? I doubt it. Or, we have a Synology nas, can we run something like spotube off that because we can access the nas from our work pc via browsers (wfh)

Only issue when is when they travel they wouldnt have access to it on their laptop, but could use their phone instead.

I was also wondering if there is such a thing as a discovery plugin for spotube, because SO enjoys that feature of spotify.

What have you guys found? Also, yes I have a large physical media collection already, but SO wants this for work listening and to find new music, so that doesnt really work for them. Otherwise I guess quobuz or tidal it is...

Consider: a bunch of mp3s and a media player

Yeah i do already have that but they want more music than that

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Several bunches of mp3s, then.

I also enjoy good old fashioned FM radio from time to time myself.

Fm here is solely nazi conservative rage and stadium ai country. Hell to the no. Oh and "Christian rock". I envy those of you with good radio. Its been dead here for 20 years.

Npr is the only station ill listen to.
