I've been meaning to distance myself from Spotify for a while now but I've got a lot on my plate and their service has been very convenient. I've been paying for no ads since 2014 so I haven't heard the ads personally but have seen multiple sources online describe them and confirm they they haven't stopped as of today. I cancelled immediately. Not sure how many Spotify users there are on Lemmy but I just thought y'all ought to know what they're up to. Spotify let's you write a message saying why you're cancelling and I was very descriptive. Hopefully they'll back down just like Disney with Jimmy Kimmel.

I fairly recently set up a NAS with Jellyfin, replacing google photos and Spotify have been on my to-do list for quite some time but they've been pretty far down on the list. Replacing Spotify just got bumped up. I'll check out Navidrome.

replacing google photos

Immich makes replacing Google Photos pretty easy. The UI is very similar and the desktop and mobile apps are pretty solid. Multi-user support is excellent if your friends or family also wanted to try it out.

I wish Navidrome (and more self-hosting apps in general) didn't assume you were the only user on the service...

Yep I've done a little testing with immich, that's what I'm planning on using, just haven't gotten around to fully setting things up yet. My NAS is just running on a Raspberry Pi 5 so I'm not planning on any multi-user stuff at this point.

Since you already have jellyfin, try it with music using the beta finamp client. Works like a charm and will save you having to spin up another service.
