Just realised how personal my music playlists are.

Just realised how personal my music playlists are. The static lists will tell my political orientation, maybe even a story of my broader emotions and state of mind when taken together with some metadata like when it was added.
When one would look at real time data it gets even worse.

Now I wish for a streaming service with very strong #privacy. And also do not try to get paranoid too much.

Seriously, does anyone know if such data is used to put people into clusters (besides marketing)?

Why streaming #music in the first place? I have ≈ 100 days of music on my hard disk and just listen to that. No internet, no streaming, just music and #privacy

@debacle mainly out of discovering new music without having to do much about it. Also a bit out of comfort.

That said, it should be possible to stream from my home to my phone via mobile network. It should even be doable securely enough. I will add that to my backlog, just for the fun ;)

some time ago at our LUG we had a bit of “it would me nice to stream our music collection” and it resulted in these blog posts with some solutions:
