Nice write-up. Not really for me as I prefer to keep my library made up of whole albums and min. 320kbps since I ditched Spotify.

Check out Symfonium if you haven’t and you’re using Android - it’s by far the best subsonic client I’ve used.

I would suggest migrating your pictrs to use object storage, which is often a tenth of the price of block storage.

NAS hosting all media and running:

• Sonarr for grabbing and managing TV shows
• Radarr does the same for movies
• Lidarr just for an overview of upcoming/missing music releases
• Navidrome to stream music (replaces Spotify)
• Jackett to manage torrent indexers
• qBittorrent via OpenVPN

Plus a VM running Nicotine+ (Soulseek client) for music sharing.
