Hi folks, first post. Just wanted to kick off a potential discussion, I don't use streaming at all due to poor artist rates and the behaviour of certain CEO's

At the moment, I'm at a sizeable vinyl collection around sixty and growing, mainly European Hard Rock/Metal, however I do have the odd HipHop type album too (Young Fathers)

I'm the type of guy who will buy an album based off the cover, which has introduced me to lots of cool stuff, but I was just wondering as I'm getting older, how are people finding new music in 2025?

Bought/2nd hand/rented CDs I rip as Flac to Jellyfin
Music files I rip as ogg from Spotify to Jellyfin.
Digital stuff I bought when CD wasnt worth it/not available.

Good stuff, is Jellyfin similar to Plex?

[–] theangriestbird@beehaw.org 4 points 2 weeks ago

yeah, it's essentially open-source Plex

IMO? Better (and 100%free)
