Recommendations for music-setup? (sopuli.xyz)

Hey guys, so I have been searching for the different ways to self-host a music-server and don't really know whats the best/most elegant way to go.

I know that there is navidrome and many also use jellyfin for it. Now I have a few questions:

Are there any good apps for android for navidrome/jellyfin respectively?
how easy can I add songs to them/do they pull metadata from somewhere (like jellyfin does for movies)
how do they (or any other options) compare in terms of ease of setup/maintainability?
do you have any overall recommendations?

Thanks a lot for any tips/recommendations and your help :D

My recent improved flow is:

Put my new music in a 'import' folder
Run a beets container and tell it to import from the 'import' folder to my 'music' folder (beets tags all music with prompts before moving to my final music folder ofc).
Jellyfin (which already has a music library set up and pointing to my 'music' folder) automatically refreshes after a few seconds.
Listen and enjoy through jellyfin app/site OR through finamp (on android).

The best part is you can rip your music into the 'import' folder, or torrent, or get it direct from youtube. Thanks to the modularity provided with this setup, it doesn't matter.
