Getting off spotify and rediscovering my own music collection

I rediscovered the joy of my own music collection by quitting Spotify and switching to self-hosted Navidrome.

    Android or iOS?

    On android I found symphonium to be a great app to use with my navidrome server. On iOS, play:sub was the best experience I found

      On iOS, ply:sub was the best experience I found

      I’ll check out ply:sub. Thank you for the recommendation.

          I found it, however… it’s $5, which I don’t mind paying for software, then it says ‘in app purchases’. So my question is what are the ‘in app purchases’ after I lay down my $5? It does seem to have a lot of bells and whistles others don’t have.

            The “in-app purchase” is a donation page where you can donate extra to the developer if you want to. It’s 100% voluntary and doesn’t unlock any extra or additional features. I’ve never donated anything beyond the $5 purchase price.

        Nope. You can buy an infinite trial via the developers ko-fi!

        There’s info about it on the symfonium forum.

          I’ll rephrase lol it’s per device, so any issue or reflash means you have to contact?

            Yeah, you will have to send the dev the new trial ID for a re-activation.

            That’s also why it’s costs more, because it’s more manual work for him.

            It’s a chore, but really cool by the dev to offer it as an option for people with de-googled devices.

              Thanks! I agree that its cool of him to offer that, just a bit painful on all sides 🙂

      Arpeggi on iOS is the best I’ve found. Available via TestFlight invite only. I plan to switch to Android in the next year, so I’m always interested to hear what clients people like over there too.
