    Spotify is in the process of killing the librespot project that this and most third party Spotify players are built on. I think the golden age of music streaming is coming to an end. I’ve migrated to a self hosted library with streaming and radio for discovery. I hope we’ll see many projects in the space flourish. Many, like Navidrome and the whole OpenSubsonic ecosystem, seem to be doing quite well.

      > radio for discovery

      Would you be willing to share a bit more about this setup? The only thing keeping my on streaming is the fact that its almost impossible to find new music otherwise. I know LastFM exists but it just doesn't click for me the way that streaming does. I like discovering music organically.

    Spotify used to use Qt for its desktop client. Good times.

    It takes five minutes to make a website look less obviously AI-generated.

      It takes five seconds to scroll to the bottom and see that it's a Jekyll theme before posting a negative comment
