Yup! Spotify removing things off my playlists was a big initial factor into me getting into self hosting. All my music streams through Plex now and I haven't looked back
Ah, nice. I gotta do the reverse and check out Soularr a bit. I imagine my Deezer setup will eventually implode, so I'll need a fallback haha
Sure sure! Just a fallback to consider if you have trouble locating elsewhere, as I did. Spotify rippers were noticably bad quality, and torrents for music were very scarce compared to other media types. But maybe I missed something or there's better options now. Dropping $10 for a month to mass download everything at crisp quality isn't too bad an option, imo.
I use Deezer. You pay for it per month like Spotify, but they have API to just download the songs straight up. I think the open source UI I've been using for that is on the rocks a bit, but do far still been working for me

For music, I've pulled it into my self hosted Plex setup, so even if the original sources like Bandcamp die, I am hosting my own copy.
Games are their own beast. Hard to do similar self hosted concepts when there are servers involved, other players, etc. I'm still 100% on the "streaming services" for games.
