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!

      Easier solution: some routers have built-in VPN access. Mine supports a Wireguard and OpenVPN tunnel directly into my network.

      As for incorrectly tagged media files, Picard can fingerprint and auto-tag your files in batch.

        I got other people on my network who prefer faster internet speeds over privacy, sadly. And I dont wanna be rude and just force them to do something they don’t want to do. (Even if it’s for the greater good)

        Also attaching it to my router won’t work when I’m out travelling or away from home.

        Picard seems awesome btw.

          This would impact internet speed for anyone else on your network. Whether they’re connected via Ethernet or WiFi, they’d have the same speeds as before.

          As for a Wireguard connection tunnelling in from outside, it has so little overhead that it does not meaningfully impact speed or latency (I’d know, I use it every day).

          Also, you can set up the tunnel as a split tunnel. This means that

          • only traffic directed at your homeserver with the music server goes through the Wireguard tunnel while
          • any traffic directed at the open internet does not go through Wireguard, i.e. zero speed or latency penalty.

          Also attaching it to my router won’t work when I’m out travelling or away from home.

          I’m not sure what you mean by “it” here. Feel free to fill in the blank.

      Yes, you can run a tailscale container or installed directly on your host machine and then run a vpn container like gluetun and input your mullvad credentials into the docker yaml. Then any containers you choose to run will be behind gluetun aka mullvad and all connect to your tailscale ip.

        I’m not really much understanding what’s going on here. Your saying if I run this “gluetun” software and JUST have tailscale running on my device, all my traffic will still be routed thru mullvad. If so, will this greatly affect internet speeds? (Even the traffic not needed by tailscale is still routed thru)

          No it has very little overhead. But you’ll need to choose between tailscale of mullvad on your phone since you can’t have two different VPN clients running at once on your phone.
