my two cents,

I personally buy some music from Bandcamp, and I’m pretty sure those songs don’t exist on the Apple Music catalog. So I don’t want to handle multiple apps to listen what I want.

Also, streaming platforms have the internet constraints. Sometimes, like when I’m driving, I don’t have a stable internet connection

I installed it on a cheap VPS a few years ago, and it just works. I never had to do any maintenance. I love it
