Ever got frustrated by that Spotify ad that pops up every now and then!. Me too and there is away out. Take your all music and listen to them ad free wherever you go with this little beast called Navidrome. It’s an opensource player that is loaded with all features that you will ever need. Never spend an other dime for stupid subscriptions. The only requirement is that you must have a server of some sort either online or the local home server.
