~~It might have been an issue with my set-up. I was trying to use the Jellyfin web version from my computer, which probably was not serving the files correctly. I'll have to test again soon to see whether fixes were made in the last 2 years for it :)~~

Never mind. It's because I was using Firefox, which doesn't support x265 due to licensing issues.

Wait, does the pi4 support 265 now? I meddled around with it a few years ago, and it always had to transcode 265 to 264.

Hi! I am interested in getting a new app for playing music. Until now, I've been on the Spotify paid tier, but I hardly use it lately in order to justify keeping the subscription. I still have quite a few playlists that I would not like losing, though.

I've been looking around, and the only app I've found that's very nice is BlackHole. However, after looking at it closer, I realized that it uses some API from India that only returns Indian music when you try to import/search. I had a good laugh on that one, after seeing all my imported playlists full of Bollywood music!

I continued my search, but I can't really find something that allows you to import playlists from various services. SpoTube is nice, but it takes a long time to play songs (sometimes up to 1 minute or more after pressing the play button).

So, my question: What do you guys use to listen to music?
