I use Jellyfin with FinAmp for Android. Even supports offline caching.

Navidrome server, symfonium on android is amazing. I also use maloja and multi-scrobbler to caoture plays from multiple sources and keep a in-house record of my plays.

I currently host Navidrome, which has an okay web player. On Android I use "Tempo" (though it is unmaintained) to connect to it, and on Linux I use Tauon (though it has very poor playback). I could not find a native Linux client that is not buggy unfortunately, so I'm also on the lookout for better solutions! I'm not familiar with the device you are talking about but every client I tried supports MPRIS, which are the regular media controls that can be used via the playerctl command, so you should be able to hook things up that way.

Navidrome, Feishin, Tempo.

Plex Server + Plexamp.

Hosted with Jellyfin, for clients I use Symfonium on Android and Feishin on desktop.

All my music is stored in a folder on my NAS, broken down by artist, release. It can be accessed via SMB, SFTP, Jellyfin and Plex. From there I stream to what ever device I'm using. Wireguard, Tailscale or Plex is required to stream outside my home. Navidrome sounds interesting.

I'm a very satisfied #jellyfin user. I have my music and movie files shared there. I use different clients: a rpi 5 with kodi and jellydin plugin; an old RPI B with volumio; in android, finamp and also share with dlna.@SidewaysHighways @selfhosted

Honestly just in ~/Music and stuff I'd like to listen to on the go gets copied onto my phone.

Navidrome for me. Installed via Yunohost.

I just keep all of my music in an NFS share on my NAS and play it with Rhythmbox or VLC. I keep a compressed copy on the SD card in my phone to listen to when I'm not home.

Plex and PlexAmp

I just use syncthing to copy music to my phone sd card.

Music folder on a network share. Navidrome and plex and jellyfin all have access to that library, then pick your poison for the client app. Plex is also DLNA enabled so my dumber AVR can access it too. I mostly use tempo app on android though. I'm a pinch, I can use navidromes web UI player to listen. The plex and jellyfin are mainly just a backup and overkill cause I can't make up my mind.

VM having a EXT4 disk on a ZFS storage.
Files are (usually) FLAC
Files are ripped from CD with Exact Audio Copy (EAC)
Alternatively they are bought or 'lent' out ;)
Files are managed by Lidarr.
Jellyfin for streaming.
On mobile I use Symfonium (alternative: FinAmp or Gelli).

I just torrent the sht out of it. And put it on a USB stick. And plug it into my car. That's it.

Plex and Plexamp. I know the dislike for Plex here, but it works for me and Plexamp is a fantastic piece of kit which, in opinion is worth the lifetime sub alone.

after using jellyfin and emby for a long while ive gone back to basics, just local mp3s synced between devices using syncthing

something like KDE Connect might work for remote control as long as you are able to install it on both devices

Navidrome + MusicAssistant

Hosted on Jellyfin, Feishin on laptop and Finamp on mobile.

I was going to try to host my music on Jellyfin, but I had an issue.

Since 2005 I’ve been curating my music collection with my old iPod that I still use.

I like my albums in release order so, with the iPod in mind, probably 80% of them are named [year] - [album]

Lidarr and Jellyfin won’t find them because of this and I don’t want to manually sort through 2000-some albums.

So I still use my iPod (20 years old next year!)

Why do I see no mentions of Ampache here? From what I found, it was the only program except Navidrome to support nested smart playlist, and Ampache has the editor directly in the web interface.

Anyways, I host mine too! Over 2TB of music files on my server, and it runs pretty well.

My problem is that I cannot find a selfhosting solution that has the nuts to spool up 80k+ hi-res, original sourced, flac files that reside on two 10TB drives through my ancient technology. MusicBee is the closest thing I've come across, but that is local, and it struggles. I stay around the compound now days so local is ok, but it would be nice to stream out on the back porch without cranking my stereo to 11 so I can hear. I have bluetooth options but range is an issue.

@SidewaysHighways @selfhosted I use navidrome which is incredibly solid and boring in a good way. Playsub or Amperfy as iOS client, web or supersonic for desktop.If you want to stick to jellyfin, Manet is probably the best client for music

Nextcloud.

And a subsonic app. There is also another protocol available so you have quite the choice for which you prefer. Currently using Tempo.

Mpd + a frontend of your choosing, I prefer ncmpcpp, will run on just about anything and is remotely controlled through apps or ssh. Mpd is great when the server is physically connected to the audio output device. I use it to remotely control a speaker connected server that can also run Plex (because I prefer plexamp for streaming and syncing to my phone, other android devices, and smart speakers). They both look at the same directory of a collection near 30 years in the making with hundreds of thousands of files and a wide array of formats.

I use Jellyfin with Finamp on Android/PC and the Jellyfin plugin for Kodi on my HTPC.

The Jellyfin plugin does movies/shows too and not just music but it handles music playback as well. For a dedicated music box I'm not sure if I would use Kodi for it.

I use navidrome for the streaming and lidarr for downloads. I am not totally thrilled with navidrome as I can not play genres. I want to setup an icecast streaming server with individual "channels" for each genre
