I stopped using Spotify after I built my own self-hosted music server
I've been a Spotify user for years. It was convenient, had everything I wanted to listen to, and worked seamlessly across all my devices. But somewhere along the way, things changed. The free tier became nearly unusable due to constant ads interrupting every few songs. Then came the price increases. And the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I became with handing over data about every single song I played. So a few weeks ago, I decided to try something different. I built my own music streaming server using Navidrome, and honestly, I'm not going back.
