Hey friends 👋,
A few months ago, Amazon announced that Kindle users would no longer be able to download and back up their book libraries to their computers. Thankfully, I still have access to my library because I saw this video by Jared Henderson warning of the change and downloaded all
Something that’s always given me trouble is sharing my music.
If I hear a cool song and want to send it to a friend I have to go to YouTube.
And many of my friends send me Spotify tracks. The share feature of Navidrome has been incredible for this.
I can send them a link and have a listen party with them and then erase the link when were done.
It’d be nice to have this feature in more of the self hosted apps.
I’ve had the same problem with audiobooks until I found the soundleaf app - it connects to my self-hosted audiobookshelf server and makes sharing with freinds super easy without having to use mainstream services.
I wish more services adopted the service Tidal uses that sends 1 link that then points to YouTube, Spotify, Tidal, and Apple music.
It looks like you can self host Navidrome.
I’ve just been using Jellyfin for my music. Is there a big advantage to this over it?
Not really, I was trying our naivdrome as I’m phasing out Plex and liked it so much I kept it.
Its impressive how light navidrome is and it scans a lot faster since its only music and not my movies too.
That said I don’t use Navidromes ui I use Synfonium as a client.
Yeah that’s what I’m doing. Its been great
