Remember when Google Music hadn't been killed yet...?
(lemmy.world)
I'm cleaning out my gmail folders this weekend, and went deep into the archive to 2011, when I got my invite to Google Music.
It's funny, because I just (November) moved all of my music out of cloud and back to local-only. Amazon was the last straw, when I tried to play purchased music, and was forced to listen to it on shuffle with other songs not of my choosing.
Anyway... there was a time when Google (ahem, Youtube) Music was set to be a game-changer. Imagine if enshittification wasn't a thing.
It was the best music service there was imo.
Now it's buying my music and Jellyfinning it up.
Why not use Navidrome. It supports the SubSonic API so there's a wider array of clients you can use, and it has a pretty good web UI.
Because Symfonium and Tauon exist.
Those are just players, right? Navidrome is also a subsonic server. Do you use something else?
I use Navidrome with Symfonium, love it! Thanks for letting me know about Tauon. I use Supersonic but Tauon seems will also fit my needs, don't know why I hadn't seen it before
Yeah. I use use Jellyfin. Symfonium is the best player I've found and it supports most everything.
Tauon is a weird one, but it's great with Jellyfin. Play counts are a little wonky at times though.
(My response was in reaction to them asking why I'm using Jellyfin when there's no need to change as I already have good players that support it.)
(Oh yeah missed that, thanks!)
+1 for Navidrome. I switched over to it over a year ago and it provides everything I had with subsonic before subsonic crashed hard one day and I decided to find a more up to date application. I pair it with the android app Symfonium and I feel like I am using a high end streaming service.
