Because fuck Spotify and streaming. And also because the zune isn’t around.
Proxmox Home lab with a NAS, and a jellyfin server. Wireguard to access remotely. Symphonium for android. All local, but now multiple devices can access your library. Added bonus of not needing an apple product.
Because I wanted a thing that isn’t my phone. All it does is play music. No apps, no games, no YouTube, no socials. Nothing but music. And it’s pretty nice.
