I’m cleaning out my gmail folders this weekend, and went deep into the archive to 2011, when I got my invite to Google Music.

It’s funny, because I just (November) moved all of my music out of cloud and back to local-only. Amazon was the last straw, when I tried to play purchased music, and was forced to listen to it on shuffle with other songs not of my choosing.

Anyway… there was a time when Google (ahem, Youtube) Music was set to be a game-changer. Imagine if enshittification wasn’t a thing.

    Yeah. I use use Jellyfin. Symfonium is the best player I’ve found and it supports most everything.

    Tauon is a weird one, but it’s great with Jellyfin. Play counts are a little wonky at times though.

    (My response was in reaction to them asking why I’m using Jellyfin when there’s no need to change as I already have good players that support it.)
