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.
It was the best music service there was imo.
Now it’s buying my music and Jellyfinning it up.
Yes I too am “buying” music and adding it to my Emby and Music Assistant servers.
I currently use strawberry on my PC for most music, and still am searching for a FOSS android app. I thought it was Mucke, but it doesn’t see more than half my tracks for some reason.
