There are some detailed instructions on the docs site, tho I agree it’d be nice to have in the readme, too.

Sounds like the dev was not expecting this much interest for the project out of nowhere so there will def be gaps.

Absolutely, it’s expensive. Definitely better to share it with family and friends to equalize the cost.

I only consider it because I listen to a ton of music, my university degree was music, and I spend a lot of money on music generally.

Not FOSS, but something I’ve been considering is Roon. I switched to Tidal from Spotify (which is a legit improvement imho)

They have a self hostable option and the idea is to mix your personal library, Tidal, Quobuz, and recommendation engines into one app.

Kickstarter coming sometime soon to get some more resources going for it and related projects. will be interesting to see if it’s effective.

Dan tends to work on too many things simultaneously (which isn’t bad per say, and he thrives doing so) which means things get stalled and its a little hectic. Hoping more funds and community excitement will help spread the work out more and allow him to keep working as he does without other projects being on pause in the meantime.
