What's your budget and what's your risk appetite?
what are you goals with having a music streaming service (IE: just to play albums you know or discover new artists)?

curious as to your recommendations?
100% they're awesome - and you can install your own apps on the instance, probably could use it for hosting a site if wanted.
I set up a foundry instance on mine.
whatbox is awesome and their support team is top notch.
lots you can do with their system.
is there a specific order in which these are supposed to be read? I feel lost as AF, but dig the art and a lot of the different pieces as I come across them.
they look interesting but I can't find out anything about where they have their servers located.
That's right feels a bit silly now
I can't find anything specific on their data security - do you have a link to that?
I'm just teaching myself - maybe good practice.
I have concerns about mailbox being under jurisdiction of 14eyes.
So any concern about mailbox.Org severs being in Berlin and Germany being apart of the 14eyes alliance?
Tuta also doesn't easily support pgp and has no plans to integrate it. "we encrypy our stuff for you, trust us bro"

If you're okay doing a little bit of legwork: Whatbox.ca as a remote service that you can upload (or download torrents) directly to it. I think they're Canadian but I'm not 100% - just has a lot of good guides to get you up and running.
I'm a fan of Plex, but they are an American company and they continue to enshitify with their policies - I bought a lifetime pass a long time ago because I really enjoyed their music player plexamp.
Jellyfin is the free and open source option, but I don't think you'll get some of the nice features like music analysis and a library radio that tries to pull things together in a somewhat comprehensive way.
This is my music solution. If you're listening at lossless and only have 1000 albums their smallest option is 2tb(€14/mo) server slot which would likely be hosted in NL.
RE: risk tolerance if you've got the know how you can set this up on a locally hosted server using Jellyfin and torrent directly to it. Advantage of a seedbox is the transfer of risk.
