Discussion Ask HN: Google Play Music Alternative? What are good alternatives to Google Play Music?While YouTube Music is more or less ok as a replacement, I don't like the dark-patterns they're using to try and lure/confuse you into a subscription for YouTube rather than just listening to your music like you used to be able to.What good alternatives exist that:- let me upload my own music collection- stream from a browser & a native android app- ideally do not have a subscription- Optional: legitimate music purchasesI don't mind self-hosting if it comes to that?Thanks! 22 points mattlondon 5 years ago 18 comments

What good alternatives exist that:
- let me upload my own music collection
- stream from a browser & a native android app
- ideally do not have a subscription
- Optional: legitimate music purchases
I don't mind self-hosting if it comes to that?
Thanks!
