So as the title suggests I'm looking to leave behind Spotify for many obvious reasons over the previous years.

I'm thinking that because of my fairly limited music library that I should just stick with an offline library. However I want the option to expand it as I find new music here and there.

I know that I can use things such as Jellyfin to organise a library on my PC, but are there good options to "sync" the library to my phone other than just simply drag and drop the media?

I think one of the aspects here is you want for drag and drop. Self hosting and jellyfin etc do take time and some resources inc storage and vpn to setup. It’s not as simple as I just want that song.

There is a hunt through soulseek to find the right song. Then there is the making sure it goes to the right place. Then the file name, matching albums covers etc and general library management. Then setting up vpn etc to your phone

It’s a learning curve and then is still not a setup where it’s just find an add. But it’s a step away from big tech.
