My own media, stored locally, streamed to me when I want it, in my browser (and apps available too). No subscriptions, no "this title is no longer available", no surveillance.
Thanks @jellyfin for doing an amazing job.

thankfully, since it's open source, there are alternative music-oriented front ends available. I use finamp to listen to music on my phone, and it's great.

in reply to Joe Brockmeier (@jzb) • • •@jzb my experience is it works well for mp3 but the jellyfin/fintunes apps are buggy with flac files
No issue in the browser for me though with mp3 or flac
For video its flawless in my experience especially when paired with the kodi add-on because official clients can be hit and miss

in reply to Joe Brockmeier (@jzb) • • •@jzb never used plexamp but have extensively used Jellyfin for music with a library of around 11k+ songs in MP3, flac primarily.
As another user stated it can be cluttered and clunky but actual playback is completely fine and reliable enough that I actually built a lil mini server I take with me camping to stream my music in deadzones.

If I had the time I'd hack on a Playstation Jellyfin client. :/

in reply to Neil Brown • • •I quite like Jellyfin, too!
Though, the apps work better for me than the browser (the app loads subtitles straight away, but browser seems to need to cache the whole file to do it... I guess it's an mpv winning thing.)
