I've had getting Jellyfin up and going for some time now, I bought the gear for it even.  I just haven't had the time.  The interface looks like a nice replacement for Netflix if I can get my entire collection on the server.

You don't miss the joy and pleasure of removing the plastic from the cassette, CD, DVD, etc.. and getting that "new media" smell?

I remember cancelling my Apple Music subscription and losing saved music.  I felt a bit cheated after several months of membership fees; despite knowing I signed up for that.
