    Meh I moved back to the old trick where I torrent download bulk music and store it on my phone. No internet no problem.

      That sounds great in theory, but the thing I haven’t been able to replace is seamless discovery.

        I would have trouble finding new music without torrent sites. The trackers I use have a web of related artists at the bottom of the artist page.

        The users add to the community through comments, uploads, suggestions, organizing, et cetera.

        Using a tracker has helped me discover music that ain’t even on Spotify. It’s the tits!

        There’s many blogs where you can discover music and unlike algorithms you get more diversity and nice descriptions. If you listen to a lot of hip hop it’s even easier by looking the featured artists

          Spotify does a phenomenal job of learning what I like and auto-playing a mix of things after I finish a song or album that aren’t just in the same genre but are also based on my taste profile that’s developed over hours of listening habits – all with zero effort on my part. And I can still discover things via blogs too.

          There just isn’t anything like that available in the self-hosted world yet, unfortunately.
