• Any music streaming app that works with real debrid?

  You're gonna love this. Check out http://ibroadcast.com You'll be surprised how good the free version is. And you can link last.fm and scrobble everything you play out of the box, no tinkering needed. Hope this helps! Source: 5 months ago

• The failure of Amazon's Alexa shows Microsoft was right to kill Cortana

  It doesn't have a lot of features like complex searching and transcoding, but I like https://github.com/agersant/polaris. Source: over 1 year ago

• Apple Music is the last library focused music service

  Why not just run your own streaming service? You're here on hn, so standing up a webserver (or even a Raspberry Pi) is hardly beyond your means presumably. Subsonic [0] appears to be well polished. I've used a FOSS fork called Airsonic [1] previously, though I've played with (and liked) Polaris [2] in the past. All three would meet your (possibly only) requirement of using your own music, and I wouldn't consider... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Let's create an overview of selfhostable music servers!

  I can't send a PR right now, but https://github.com/agersant/polaris is worth adding. Source: over 2 years ago
