   The #freebsd experiment continues as I try to make a proper useful workstation out of it.

   I've got video and sound and internet working. But while I work, I need some music.

   Maybe I'll install the #spotify app? Nope.. not on BSD.

   No problem, I"ll use the web based player.. Also NO apparently as you can't enable #drm in firefox in #bsd ?

   Is this true or am I missing something? I'm trying to go pure BSD and not use Linux compatibility. But doesn't seem possible?

     @codemonkeymike Just buy your music like regular people. Bandcamp and Qobuz have tons of DRM free music!

     @codemonkeymike @hund There is, yes. I believe it lives at https://plex.tv.

     @killyourfm @hund I've never experienced plex music. Is there a web based player? I'm curious from a curiosity standpoint

     @codemonkeymike @hund Some clarification: it's a self-hosted service. Essentially I've built my OWN Spotify from my decades of collecting music. I love the shit out of it.

     But you either need to host your own, or have a friend share their library with you in order to listen.
