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.

      To what? Provide the error message and stop asking to be spoonfed? And you can hit ^L to make the install refresh the screen like with any curses program, fyi.

        ubt0: ubt_bulk_read_callback:1131: bulk-in transfer failed: USB_ERR stalled.

        Also ctrl+L isn’t clearing the screen.

        I managed to fix it using some command from a forum luckily.

        I now believe it’s Bluetooth related. Boads well for using Bluetooth devices.

          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.
