Visits to music piracy websites went up more than 13 percent last year, a new report says. The majority of those visits were to sites that allow users to download the audio from YouTube URLs.

Yeah. I want a self-hosted Pandora alternative

Plex's specialty audio client Plexamp is pretty good if you want to make your own "radio stations." And if you have a Plex Pass, the server does "sonic analysis" of each track so it can do a good job of playing related music in its smart playlists.

Of course, Plex Pass ain't free, but if you are in it for the long haul the lifetime purchase may be worth it.

(Everyone's worried about Plex's future right now but I would be surprised if they killed self-hosting. That's another topic though.)
