Hello based people of lemmy,

I have recently started trying out BSDs as an alternative to Linux and found out that Spotify isn’t supported. Before you say try it in a browser this doesn’t work as spotify has DRM that doesn’t work on BSD OSes.

Now is there a way to stream music similar to Spotify? I know there is a downloader program available.

Furthermore do you know what self-hosted options are available? I already have a basic *arr stack and am always up for convoluted server and Linux hijinks.

    An idea, maybe just stick to Linux if first class hardware and proprietary software support is what you’re chasing.

      I hardly use Bluetooth. But yes I don’t think FreeBSD will work on my laptop for example. It has issues with the keyboard on that machine.
