I use jellyfin for music. Some of the third party apps are nice. I can even stream it to Jellyfin app on Android Audio from my server while I’m driving, which is crazy to me.

I started with Navidrome, then looked at the disk space occupied by my library and it occured to me that 1TB MicroSD cards are a thing now, and I can listen to all my library offline.

I know there is a lot about Plex to hate, but I am always grateful for Plexamp. It requires a Plex pass, but it’s worth it for Plexamp alone imo.

I also just started the process of migrating to a self hosted music server. I’m using navidrome, but a big feature I want is being able to easily add custom tags to songs that I can later use to search and filter for what I want. Navidrome will only open your library in read-only, which is a smart security measure, but means it cant support this. I’m going to try Koel next and see how that goes.

I chose Navidrome for my music collection. I basically use it when I’m outside working around the property. Put on my raggedy ass pair of Beats, I found in the thrift store for $5…had to do some repairs but they work, on a defunct old phone just for the wifi access. When I’m inside tho, I use Music Bee. Navadrome has everything I need, tho I am still searching for a mobile app that operates like I want it too. The app I’m currently using, Agin Music, is good, but there are a couple places in the operation flow that won’t let me backtrack to the previous page I was viewing. I’ll keep testing until I find one.
