Looking to access the music from an Android app.
Currently I’m using Jellyfin (since I already use it for other stuff), but it isn’t ideal. No option to download entire albums easily, and if the server is offline then I can’t even use the music downloaded to my phone.

Lidarr to dl and plex/plexamp for listening. No issues so far. Haven’t got to use sonic analysis yet but it’s interesting that you could choose 2 songs and it will use sonic analysis to make a Playlist bridging between the two.
+1 for Plex and Plexamp. The Plexamp app works great on Android and Linux. Without that, I don’t think I’d use Plex for music.
Another +1 for Plexamp. It’s enjoyable and easy to use and they’re very actively developing and supporting it.
I have airsonic running in a docker container behing Nginx Proxy Manager. I use play:Sub on my iphone and it lets me download albums to my cache.
I also use Jellyfin, and Finamp is the best way to listen to music with it.
It has offline download support and has come a long way since I started using it.

Plexamp, the app is great, but its offline/download support is not great either
I’ve been using navidrome since the start of the year. It was my first instance of self hosting my music and my main focus was to have a dedicated project for it and to not use something like Plex, Jellyfin, etc. I’ve been liking it so far, it’s simple and just hosts and streams music. Doesn’t have any client side apps or any tagging or smart algorithmic playlists, which is fine by me. Plenty of iOS and Android client side apps with varying features that can download. Worth checking out!
Hosting Navidrome and use Symphonium to stream on-the-go. Have Navidrome on a domain via reverse proxy.
Considering limiting any risk in the future and just using something like tailscale/wireguard to just connect to the sever on-the-go, but we’ll see.
I rsync my entire library with an sdcard every week. The initial sync is slow, but the subsequent syncs are fast since only new files get copied over.
I use Jellyfin and Finamp. When it works it’s great, but it seems to always crap out after half an hour or so of streaming.
Interesting. I don’t see this issue.
It’s probably just my machine showing its age.
With JF I can only advice to use Finamp, it allows you to download your albums.
I use Owntone server and various airplay devices around the home. That way I can just use the built in Apple Remote and streaming from iOS devices. I think there is similar apps for iPhone or you can use the web ui of Owntone.
