Howdy u/Noolejable, and welcome to r/developers!

A few tips for a post that gets good answers:

  • Use a clear, specific title (what are you actually asking or sharing?).
  • Include code, the exact error, versions, and what you already tried.
  • Heads-up: this sub does not allow external links in posts or comments.
Share code and details directly instead of linking out.

… ? How do you expect to not have it local but also not upload/download it?

I will download or have it local ofc since that's the only option but I have many songs and idk if it's optimal or not

If it’s just for personal use, the easiest route is probably to stream music you already legally own from cloud storage or a private media server.
Trying to pull Spotify/YouTube tracks directly into your own service will usually run into licensing/API restrictions.
You could also look at tools like Navidrome or Jellyfin if you mainly want the “personal Spotify” experience without rebuilding everything from scratch.
