When I go on vacation I prefer to keep my smartphone with WiFi and mobile data off, but I really don’t like the way Spotify handle offline content. Most of the time it doesn’t download everything and when I do a research, it show me even content that’s not available offline (how can it do that?). Is there a selfhosted service that I can use to download my playlists and play them with an Android app that can download them?

    There’s Finamp, a music client for Jellyfin with offline playback. I’ve not used it personally yet, but with Spotify ratcheting up prices again I’m in the process of switching to self-hosting my music library. When that’s up and running it’s at the top of my list for Android clients.

      Jellyfin was my go to as well. It was really nice to play with and finamp was as well. Once setup it was just as easy and nice to use as Spotify without all the ads and Spotify randomly playing songs after i finish a podcast episode.

      Good to know, thanks! Do you know a way to download the Spotify playlist in Jellyfin without the need to do it manually?
