Every alternative i can find requires spotify but the point is to avoid using spotify.

I mean you can start a mumble server and have a bot stream music from your library, accepting requests from users for next song

That's not really the same though and much more manual while in use, and also quite a lot of setup.

What’s the difference between mumble and jam? I may have made some assumptions about jam as I don’t use it.

Also, some things require work to get it how you want

A Spotify jam you can start at any time, anywhere. Then whatever you're playing is that "Jam". You can send other people (who also have Spotify) a link/qr and they can hear it, and play songs too. It's literally 1 click to do this with a group.

I also don't use it, so I don't know how it exactly works once you're in it. Like how don't suggestions work or if anyone in it can just add to the queue, but that's the assumption on my part.
