So, how does it compare to a second hand NAS with streaming option…. Cost and effort wise
Great vid❤

Love the "Digital USB Cassette" packaging. How do I get one?

Watched to the end…Thank you♡

honestly might try this. its either that, rockbox my ipod mini, or buy one of those android sd card players from amazon. i love my ipod but i can't stand the way they handle adding music to it in 2026.

Ive went back to cd ripping and hosting my own server a few years back, just running from an old laptop that casually hosts from the corner of the room. Not sure why you went out and got a rasperry pi as an existing device with storage capacity is all u need. Over complicated it a bit for people not in the know. Plex is the way to go if you want to stop supporting spotify, netflix and the big streaming platforms so glad you putting it out there 👏

I thought about this a while, step one teach musician to host their music, and sell them directly

The slop on Spotify is getting worse. with every 14 year old with a computer trying to make music and spotify just dumping it on their subscribers. im almost done. the recommendations and the constant search for good music is getting so tedious. i must admit. im down to listning to round 50 albums and have not added one new song to a playlist in half a yar.
Spotify is elevator music. forgetable and not repeatable

Abs loving it Spotify killer, never bought streamed music, I from the Napster generation, still use cds in my car cos quallity will never be beaten

Great video! Your iPod series was a big reason for why i got into building my own server (home labbing). Plex is great for film and tv and those who are jus getting into personal servers. Though I reccomend checking out Navidrome, Imo it's a better experience for music. The initial setup can be a bit more complex that Plex, but it allows for a lot more custimisation and overall better library management. Excited to hear The Mixtape will be on bandcamp!

Five ads in a 13min video is crazy

Been looking for this video for yrs & didn’t know it until this morn! Back to the future! 📼

Been looking into this for a couple of months now tired of having 8 different subscriptions.
Going back to the sailing times, thanks to Overseerr, Radarr, Sonarr etc. I'm thinking about cutting off all those subscriptions, use the saved money to purchase albums to the artists directly every month 😉
