What server do you run? I'm planning to re-cloud my music, I mean I divide my music to two parts: that I listen to casually, and that which I want to own by myself. Spotify is so cheap it tempts really well, but I've already lost a few of my music from it (for example I had a title in my playlist, but it's lost, and I can't even see what the title was). I tend to re-buy each month a CD or two, so I re-own my music.

Not the person you asked, but I am running mpd[1] ("musicpd" in some package repos), using its httpd output to serve on localhost, and use a normal reverse proxy with Nginx to expose it on my VPN with HTTPS. To manage playlists and stuff, I connect to mpd from my LAN using ncmpcpp[2].

Nowadays there's probably better alternatives though.

Thank you good sir! I meant to say mpd but my awful autocorrect changed it to “mod”

Spotify has an option to show songs in your playlists which have been removed. In the mobile app, Settings->Content and Display->Show unplayable songs.

Hope this helps!
