I mean if you're weighing in on a discussion of Spotify and Apple and sharing your alternative, I think it would be fair to think about drawbacks or missing features along with the pros of anti-subscription life
As far as drawbacks are concerned: - Requires some technical know-all
- Maintaining your services - though this is fairly minimal
- UI not as polished as Apple or Spotify
- Takes time to import your media
Obviously, its not for everyone and streaming services aren't going anywhere soon. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
