I have over 4000 songs just in one playlist on my phone. I've never used a streaming app.

I try and find new music via Fediverse, Tiny Desk series, music acts from shows like: SNL, Tonight Show, etc. And of course I'll check Billboard top charts once in a while.

    What about torrents or something? It used to be so big. And now I don't see a lot of music anymore. Everybody went to steaming service, it's awful.

    Slsk, search for it. Best kept secret. Note that some bigger artists have their libraries blocked from search via dcma, so you will need to search by partial artist name or album name instead, but it's voluminous. Musical library of Alexandria.

    There's definitely torrent sites.

    Even a certain famous pirate still has a site.

    Yeah true. I was mainly talking about music torrents. Which used to be big as well.

    Of course there used to be limewire and what have you not as well in the past. Which is maybe not that popular anymore. There is frostwire as well today.

    Maybe there's more to it, but I really don't get the last note about Tidal: Essentially, if you use Tidal, you should know the CEO is has a large ego and is a crypto bro.

    I'm sure he's very annoying, but I'm not inviting him to my house for dinner.

    I really want to do this, but I have yet to find a self-hosted app that has the features from iTunes that I love: smart playlists (with an easy to edit interface), play stats (last played, last skipped, play count, skip count), and editable metadata (can change genres of the a song or several songs within the app).

    Easily editable smart playlists would be table stakes for me. I can get by without the rest, though I'd be less happy than with iTunes.

    (Please somebody prove me wrong so I can go back to self hosting my music library)

    I use Plexamp and the smart playlists are pretty great on that.

    I have found that navidrome (uses subsonic as a base API ) covers a bunch of these. It has a web app to interact with it but because it uses subsonic it can work with any subsonic music app. Navidrome also has smart playlist support but no current UI (supposed to be on the way) to set it up so of you're comfortable with file editing via terminal you'll probably be fine

    Mobile I use symfonium which does have smart playlist support which you configure yourself. It can get quite involved depends on how "smart" you want to get. But it's an offline first app. So will cache songs to your phone to play them. Any ratings or favourites or playlists you make can get pushed back to navidrome via subsonic to your server. It also has android auto support which was a Biggie for me. Only downside is it costs £5 but it's a one off payment not a subscription. Worth the cost in my mind.

    For desktop I like to use a foss app called feishin, just prefer the UI to navidrome. Again it just needs to be subsonic compatible :)
