Music services still pretty useful. I’m using deezer for example, it can stream lossless audio and kinda okay with “radio” mode. Used spotify before, but it infuriated me by suggesting same music I already heard for 20-50 times. It’s like at some point it just traps you in your own bubble of 100-200 songs.
The alternative would be downloading thousands of albums in flac and uploading to multiple devices. Plus you need to add new music, which includes searching for that mentioned music. So yeah, nah, I’m okay with paying subscription for now. Until they eventually go to shit like video services did. Then we will need to come up with “popcorn time” alternative for music I guess.
I’m downloading thousands of albums now in a bid to archive and run my own streaming service and let me tell you, I probably won’t ever unsubscribe from Tidal.
Not everyone have static IP and device that can work as server. But yeah, it’s not like you can’t find work around: something like old android phone or spare notebook with pinggy on top would do the trick. Still, point stands - as for now it’s less convenient option.
I have no clue why that triggered people so much. Never stated that I have any problem with that, nor that I need any help solving it. I leave my apartment like, once per month and cause living in EU - there no need to “travel” further than opposite street to buy anything I may need.
On top of that, point was that it’s issue for other people in general. Explain how to setup tailscale to your grandma, I dare you.

Instead of uploading to multiple devices you can host Navidrome or jellyfin

You can use a DDNS
Yep, if you don’t have any hardware or money that sucks, the hardware costs a lot, what i could buy with 20-30€ costs over the hundreds
Khm-khm, arm boards, khm-khm
No like, for real, why 16gb arm board like O6 now costs almost 1k euro? 32gb version right now 1400 euro on aliexpress. FOR WHAT? Finest chinesium?
And “affordable” Raspberry Pi with as much ram as my toaster (and similar CPU at that) now costs more money, than regular small mini PC on x86.
I need to dig into that a bit more, but I’m not sure if it will work with NAT on ISP side (with is a common thing at least in region I’m from).
Even x86 hardware, because everyone is now selling shit without RAM and SSD/HDDs but with the same prices
It should work in theory
Not sure how DDNS would work with CGNAT since multiple users would be sharing one public IP address.
There’s other solutions though. Tailscale for one
Tailscale or cloudflare tunnel should fix your CGNAT issue. The former is more private I believe.
