Spotify was a pretty convenient all-in-one service for a while. But they've fallen prey to the growth trap and dark patterns for a while now, with no signs of improving any time soon. This solution isn't quite as easy as OG Spotify... but it's free, gives me something to hack and work on, and puts me in control of my music library again. There's something very freeing about consciously thinking about my music library, instead of allowing Spotify to spoonfeed you artists that give up a share of their profits [1].
