• Is there a self-hosted software for hifi music streaming?

  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.

• YouTube tests blocking videos unless you disable ad blockers

It does the job very well and it does not mine any data or show any ads. I highly recommend to give it a try (I assume you use android?). And to add, while it is free and I could have continued just fine not paying... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago
