What’s your recommendation for listening to music privately?

My requirements are: open source desktop/web (Linux) and android app. I also want basically every song I would ever want.

I’m willing to pay just not on agregious amount of money.

If you are posting your recommendation please care to include the tradeoffs or any annoyances you got from it.

Thanks all!

    I have a local music library.

    I once uploaded my entire connection of music (ripped from my own CDs or grabbed over the decades) to Google Music, but we know where that went. So I used Amazon Music for a few years, until the service went to shit.

    Unwanted tracks in my personal playlists; songs playing out of order; ads despite paying a subscription fee to listen to music I already own.

    The frustration with the entire copyright and, “rights holders” scene led me to turn away from buying anything but physical media at local music ships.

    I have never used the arr tools, but if I was starting from scratch, I probably would. For now, when I want a few new tracks, I use yt-dlp or fire up jackett and find it.

    Eta: frustrations
