Tangential: Is there a non-Google way of getting similar functionality to what Google Music used to be? It's hugely appealing to have my own copy of everything I listen to synced seamlessly across devices. Google Music is getting it done, but there are a few warts: a) It keeps pushing its marketplace, subscription service, and "radio" feature. I'm interested in none of them. b) There's no (sane) way to make a track from my library be played from my alarm clock. c) It limits how many times I can download a particular track. That I own. Yes, I have my own copy elsewhere, but the point of Google Music is supposed to be saving me the headache of keeping things in sync.

You can set up a Subsonic server, there are multiple apps like DSub and the official Subsonic app which are very polished.

Libresonic[0] is my go-to when someone asks for Subsonic functionality.

It's a libre fork of Subsonic that removes the licensing code.
