I'm looking for a FOSS alternative to Spotify, preferably one that works across Android, MacOS, and Windows.

Does anything like that exist?

  • On Android, I'm using ViMusic. Works great!
  • On MacOS, I've tried nuclear and Spotube. Neither seems to work great.
  • Haven't tried anything on Windows yet.

Suggestions appreciated. Thanks lemmy!

The problem is that music isn't generally FOSS - people would like to be paid for their work. So the next best thing is to set up your own music service where you can add your own music.

Here's a good discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/rdxbxp/is_there_any_spotifylike_selfhosted_music/

Are you looking for a streaming service or a music server?

There's an app called BlackHole, but the music library it provides is very small and oriented in music from India.
