The reason I gave up on MP3's and subscribed to Spotify was because Spotify was easy. I've been listening "Iron Maiden - Empire of the Clouds" song every day and like a week ago, its removed. This was the last straw for me. Right now I'm trying to find "Stremio" of the music world. Can someone assist?

Key features I'm looking for:

Synchronization between devices
Offline play
Playlist support
Both desktop and mobile apps
Wide music library (optional if I will upload music)
Lyrics (optional)

Update: thanks to everyone who shared their solutions 🙏

iBroadcast lets you upload your music and listen to it anywhere - phone, browser, or offline access. I have like 42,000 songs and I've been using it for years. It's awesome.

To get the mp3s, I still use the website that's often referenced in old /mu/ memes/instructions.

I'm pretty sure it hits all your features - I'm not sure about lyrics though.

Hey that sound too good to be true, no ads and a free tier? Amazing

Idk if it's actually open source, but they seem to be going on the open source financial model: make an awesome thing and then survive on the generosity of people with money who appreciate it.
