Hi Selfhosted,

I am looking for the best solution to replace spotify for at home and out of the house music.

I already have a large music library and run moOde for multiroom audio and use spotify connect to cast to it.

Is my best option to set up an MPD server and wireguard vpn to use it on the go? Are there other options? What would you recommend?

I'm running roon. It's expensive but self hosted, and has an excellent set of features around a library that seamlessly blends locally stored content with cloud content from either qobuz or tidal. It is great for discovery because I can click into the performers/composers of a track/album and see their other work. Or view a composition itself and see other artists who have performed it.

I wouldn't say it's for everyone but it's been a good fit for me.

Oof, you weren't kidding about the price. Seems like a pretty solid piece of software though.
