      Plex.tv It’s a free multimedia server that you can install on your computer and start streaming your own video & music to yourself or your family and friends when you share your server. I paid for the Lifetime license because it’s worth it. I own a 36tb server at home and I shared my server to about 20 people.

      Envy and jellyfish are other open-source solution that are also great to use.

        What’s the advantage of using it vs. using a service like Spotify? I personally have around 16 gigs of music, which are all downloaded onto my phone.

        I’ve gotten into a habit of maintaining a “physical” digital library since the iPod days and never broke away from that.
