iiii92264ySpotify is pretty limited in what it provides. You'll be better being tracks separately and making your own streaming server.

@SortOfTested I'm the ultimate Charlie Brown. I got excited and set up Plex on my iMac. Wouldn't you know, I have the wrong model of router. The NetGear Nighthawk R8000 isn't going to work with Plex. https://community.netgear.com/t5/...

iiii92264y@F1973 I mean everyone is constantly streaming. That is not great. There is some caching, but still.

iiii92264y@F1973 because bandwidth is not infinite. It's a waste of power and bandwidth to constantly stream everything.

@F1973 I read an article recently about the fact that at some point in the future the number of bits we’ll want to store will exceed the matter available on the planet to store it. https://livescience.com/information...

UPDATE: I finally got Plex to work on my router. It seems I had the ports reversed. Also, you have to keep your router admin screen open in a separate tab for Plex to maintain the remote connection for some weird reason.

Question for audiophiles: I have a bunch of music on old original media (CDs, cassettes, and vinyl). It’s getting increasingly hard and inconvenient to listen to these whenever and wherever I am like I can do with Spotify. Tape players are disappearing along with CD players and turntables. And it’s just not as available everywhere like streaming services.
While I’m in the process of making playlists in Spotify to represent each CD, cassette, and record, I’m finding lots of tracks and even whole albums and artists are not found.
So now I’m trying to figure out how I’m gonna be able to listen to them once I individually digitize each missing track/album. I want to stream rather than download files to individual devices. Ideally I’d have a media server in my house with a gateway to the public Internet and an app on my phone to tap into it.
Is there (still) something like this out there? Some kind of open source streaming solution? What do you do/recommend?
