fair

this then allows me to do fancy stuff like, when i’m at home and connect my headphones to my phone, it transfers to playback queue from my main speaker setup to my phone, automatically stopping the music there and starting it on my phone, and when i disconnect my hradphones when at home, it transfers iz back and i can continuously listen to one queue on mutliple devices.

streamrip downloads songs from tidal/quobuz/spotify so you have a drm free local copy

music assistant is a part of home assistant, meaning i integrate my local music library into my smart home with music assistant.

i also have audiobookshelf (selfhosted audiobooks obv) and nextcloud gpodder (selfhosted podcast subscription and listen history sync) hooked into it, meaning in one app that has access to all speakers in my home and also my smartphone, i can listen to all audio related stuff

lidarr + streamrip (tidal, i have a subscription there, so not free, my point is owning the music offline, dont really mind paying, esp bcs tidal gives a bit more money to musicians than spotify) + navidrome + music assistant

music assistant also has tidal linked, meaning i have the full catalogue and discovery via streaming.

if i like a song, i tell streamrip to download the album, put it into navidrome, and music assistant will then actually start using the local version which is cool
