Looking to migrate off of spotify. I will miss it for suggesting new songs and keeping up with new releases. What do you use to stay up to date, but off of paid services?

Jellyfin server that streams to my iOS Finamp app.
Music collected using Lidarr from the Servarr automation suite. https://github.com/Servarr/Wiki
Only service I’m comfortable paying for is my VPN, provided by Proton VPN.

Personally, I’d use Bandcamp. It’s mostly indie artists, but there’s a lot of good stuff on there. However, you can only play a song so many times per month before you need to buy it, but once you do that you own that song and can download it as an MP3 or FLAC. I also still use CDs.
Then there are the streaming options:
- MusicPiped is an alternative frontend to YouTube Music.
- Nuclear is a desktop app which pulls music from YouTube, Bandcamp, Apple Music and others.
- Olivia is a better desktop app, which does sort of the same thing
- SpoTube is another option, but I haven’t tested it. However, it can access your Spotify playlists.
Bonus points for: a way to get my playlists/liked songs off of spotify :)

Lidarr to manage. This is where you’ll visit for new release info. Use its integration with usenet/torrents if you’re okay with piracy.
For listening (applicable whether you pirate or not) I use airsonic. Much more complex/nerdy than spotify though.

You can use FreeTube for watching music videos on desktop.
