I was looking for a service like this, Can I stream from inter.tube to Sonos?

Also, I a smaller plan would be welcome, I pay $2 to google for 100GB, I would welcome it here too.

Thats's a good idea! I think I will add a smaller plan later. Please check back soon (might take a few days, looks like I have lots of bugs to squash)! The prices are more or less a direct reflection of the potential fees so it should totally possible to do a small plan.

BTW I should also mention that if you don't pay after the trial, it never actually locks you out. I haven't coded that part yet and it I feel bad about charging for buggy software so it's more of a donation at the moment. So feel free to use it for free and contribute if you like it later on.

Thanks. How about Sonos? I don't mind paying $5 but it makes no sense to me without Sonos.

PS: I hate Sonos, but I am locked in :)

Not sure tbh, need to figure out how Sonos works first. If there’s an API or something I could implement I’d be interested in doing it.

It would need to be more than that. $2 is about the cost storing 100GB on most cloud storage services, and that's before you pay for any egress or access fees.

My secret sauce is that I'm using B2 (Backblaze) + Cloudflare Workers to save on egress fees. I am thinking of switching to Cloudflare's storage thingy as well. But bandwidth is cheap, in exchange the download speeds are not so great (CF probably better).

I hadn't seen backblazes storage pricing, it's very cheap. Even at that, 100GB of storage is ~$.50/month. $2 is tight. I don't think it needs to be much more, but probably close to $3-$4 I would say.

(1) could you hash everyone's mp3 files so that if person a had the same songs as person b, you only need to store them once? (2) people obviously storing copyright stuff in there -- do you have legal issues?
