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.
To be fair you don't necessarily need an Apple iPod, there are plenty of other mp3 players that are on/were on the market before. iPods are just the go-to for most since it's the most widely recognized. I'm sure you can find a couple basic players at your local dollar store if you prefer to not use an Apple product.
They've partially been revitalized in the mainstream again by YouTubers such as Dankpods or Zac Builds making upgraded versions or reviving them for modern use.
There's still choice out there for other players, but most are sold as smart phones without a cellular antenna, such as the Fiio flagships or the Astell & Kern players. I could even argue an old Android phone with a headphone jack and all other apps removed with ADB could work as a simple player as well.
Damn. That Symphonium seems like a good app. I have Jellyfin but only a few albums to try it out. I used Finamp before which is basic and works ok but this app has way more features. The downside is it's not free. I don't mind paying for something but I notice my free trial will finish way before I get a chance to upload new media and give it a proper chance.
Symphonium is great. And it's a lifetime license for a relatively low fee. I don't think you will get buyer remorse.
You're correct. I just noticed I have a 50% voucher for one app so used that and some Google Rewards credits so it's cost me nothing really. Thanks!
