Selfhosted

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.

E:\mp3

Plex and PlexAmp

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.

Plex Server + Plexamp.

Navidrome, Feishin, Tempo.

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 just have a bunch of media files (.ogg, .mp3, etc.) in directories and play them with mplayer from the command line. Playlist = shell script that plays some group of files. I use old school track numbering (01-whatever, 02-whatsit, etc.) though, so most of the time "mplayer *" is how I play an album and the tracks play automatically in the right order. I don't understand the purpose of anything fancier. Now get off my lawn.

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.

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.

Server: Gonic

Clients: Strawberry on linux/android, DSub on Android, Amperfy on iPad/macOS

~200 000, mainly flac, accessible everywhere

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.

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.

My use case: collection based on single-flac + cuesheets, thousands, many of which are HD. Setup: all the music is in an NFS share in my HTPC, which also runs Kodi (flatpak) for both video and audio media. That machine is connected to my main audio setup via USB DAC.

The Kodi music DB is hosted externally in mariaDB in the same server. I use 2 headless Kodi (OSMC) clients with HiFiBerry DACs as streamers around the house, using the same DB/media. Lastly I also have an Nvidia Shield running Kodi also exposing the same collection/DB.

Over the years I have tested many alternatives, including navidrome, volumio, and others, but they all struggle handling my music collection, choke processing cuesheets or don't even support them, or can't handle NFS reliably or at all, or can't process 24 bit content etc.

I couldn't find any solution nearly as reliable, performant or flexible as this one. I use this setup pretty much daily. With incremental improvements, it's been running for more than 10 years.

Each Kodi client can be managed via its web interface (a little dated but fully functional and reliable), amd via Android app (I use Yatse).

The main server also exposes the music collection via DLNA.

I looked at jellyfin/Plex in the past as well but for muy use case, it's over-complicated and didn't add value.

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

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).

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

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

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

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

@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

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.

I like using rygel currently, just run it by command line and media folders are available over the network. Any device with VLC can see it on the network and play.
