Thinking of adding Navidrome and Jellyfin to my set up (lemmy.world)

I am just a hobbyist and don't do any tech for work, but I enjoy tinkering. I have a Nextcloud that I like to use to keep files between my phone and a few computers in sync. That does include my media. For my phone I have been liking an app Power Ampache 2 as it lets me stream and save music locally (I don't have unlimited data so somethings I do want to keep).

Part of the motivation is just because and just to host more things makes me feel more pro. I am a bit curious about what otherset ups people in the community might have settled for and why?

Can't help with Jellyfin, tho there are many here who use it, so maybe someone will chime in. I do use Navidrome, and it checks all my boxes. It's a pretty comprehensive package, and recently they have introduced a plug in environment. I have not got into the plug ins yet. If your music collection is rather haphazard, I'd recommend Beets. Turn it loose on your music collection and let it do it's thing.

    Good to know. I used to have a rather disorganized collection. I like to use Strawberry Music Player on my laptop and it can fetch album covers and metadata.

    @InternetCitizen2 Strawberry can also stream from Subsonic-compatible servers, which Navidrome is.Navidrome does not support a traditional file system browser, but relies entirely on metadata in your music library. So if that is a mess, navidrome wont be as nice as it can be. Beets or Picard can mitigate that issue.

    I was just reading on clients that I might even want to use. Good to know Strawberry is known to work; it is very underrated around the linux community.

    @InternetCitizen2 some of us are old enough to remember the amaroK 1.x days ;)

    I want to join in on the joke and bit like "thats a name I've not heard in a while", but I have not heard of it.

    @InternetCitizen2 it's an older meme, but it checks out...I am not sure about the relationship between strawberry and amarok, but it looks like strawberry just carbon copied amaroks interface from way back.
