Modified apps are used to access premium features without paying for them. Mod APKs enables users to listen to their favourite music and podcasts without ads.
That's so sweet of them to remind people to start hosting their own subsonic servers already
Can someone give me a rundown (or link to a good one) of a comparison between subsonic, jellyfin, plex, and these other services that let you host your own streaming service?
Here's the short and sweet.
SoulSeek - an ancient p2p filesharing system that... For some reason, copyright companies don't care about, but until they do, there it is and it's awesome.
Funkwhale - federated dudes all sharing music together, yeah, some of it is copyrighted because of course it is, also an audio server so you get that too.
Jellyfin - Great and modern. Makes a good music server by itself. Only reason it really wins over subsonic and the like is support and upkeep. A lot of subsonic apps are dead.
Plex - Jellyfin (but with corporate overlords)
Find music on SoulSeek, host on Jellyfin, Funkwhale or whatever *sonic fork is still updated, ???, profit is basically the game. Some people also find utility with apps that strip music directly from Tidal and Spotify. Your mileage may vary.
I only remember this one: https://github.com/basings/selfhosted-music-overview
But it's somewhat outdated
I hosted mine but then I realised my ISP doesn't provide static IP so I couldn't access it outside my home so I quit
Just get yourself a Domain and set up dynDNS or similar, which updates your DNS entry IP address, as soon as it changes.
😌if we just would finally adopt to IPv6…
Tailscale works wonders
Not having a static IP is not a problem at all.
CGNAT would be a much bigger problem, although also one that can be dealt with
Really why.
I have been doing that for around 10 years already, when I bought my first NAS with Docker capability.
I keep all my music locally. Ultrasonic app on the go.
Spotify makes press release about stopping modified apps so that users list all the apps that are working.
So their tactic is boasting about breaking mods and making idle threats to try and scare normies while doing what they've been doing, applying fixes and having new modded versions come out that work just fine?
They did this same thing saying they'd ban people for blocking ads a while back, also astroturfed to hell on Reddit trying to scare people. Ultimately nothing really came from it except a whole lot of fear mongering.
I’m still able to use Spotify with Spicetify and its Adblock. Same about EeveeSpotify for IOS.
XManager mod still works for me
It works, but since the beginning of the year there haven't been any updates to the xmanager version anymore and various functionalities have been lost. Really annoying when shuffle is on by default for example :(
(Edit: maybe more correct to say that since about half a year the xmanager team is only releasing experimental versions since Spotify made some major changes to their software.)
My XManager app works so I don't care
gotta spend all their time going after users instead of using the millions they get from a transphobic podcaster to actually pay artists and improve the user experience
I’m just glad they haven’t figured out that I’m not actually a student and haven’t been for over 10 years.
Hold on....
Didn't get some, apparently.
Soggfy is still working as of right now.
