joshua612 I can see why Apple Music would NOT be a good fit for you. I currently have a "hybrid" approach: I use Apple Music for discovery (as well as Bandcamp, Wired Magazine, and a bunch of blogs), and if I like something, I buy it and add it to Jellyfin. I pump a bunch of stuff into my Apple Music library to give the algorithm something to chew on (or go "WTF???").
Apple Music is great when you want to dive into a genre or artist - low cost, and sometimes after listening to a bunch of one thing, I am tired of it. I fell down a French pop music hole one year a few years back, and never revisited it!
