How to get easy music streaming (lemmy.world)

Hi,

So, after doing all kinds of research I figured qobuz is the least evil streaming service and the only one I'd be willing to use.

However, after trying it, I realised that they don't allow VPNs. Often it doesn't recognize the IPs as a VPN, but for some servers it does.

So, since I could get locked out at any time, this isn't a long-term solution for me.

I'm thinking of self-hosting. But then there's no recommendations. And if I hear anything I like, I need to find the stuff as well, which is gonna be tricky the more obscure it is. I can't afford to buy more than maybe two albums a month. And often it's just individual songs I want.

Do I need to drop the luxury of recommendation radio and easy access to nearly every song I like?

First misread this as a post. Looking for easy listening music and almost judged you for liking that soulless dribble.

As far as recommendation radio, I found that to be quobuz's greatest weakness. Their music quality is best but algorithm based listening is pretty primitive.

What is your beef with Tidal out of curiosity? They are the clear winner in my experience.
