I am just a hobbyist and don’t do any tech for work, but I enjoy tinkering. I have a Nextcloud that I like to use to keep files between my phone and a few computers in sync. That does include my media. For my phone I have been liking an app Power Ampache 2 as it lets me stream and save music locally (I don’t have unlimited data so somethings I do want to keep).
Part of the motivation is just because and just to host more things makes me feel more pro. I am a bit curious about what otherset ups people in the community might have settled for and why?
Navidrome for easy UPnP. Symphonium on Android. Foobar2000 on windows. Deadbeef on Linux.
I have a bunch of WiiM Mini devices and this setup works well for multi room playback.
WiiM Mini
For a moment i thought this was a version of the Nintendo console and was like omg
🤣 I always think of Weeeeeeeeeeen
Navidrome on PC + Symfonium (one time payment, worth it) as my mobile interface so I can listen on my phone easily.
Today I learned that Jellyfin does music. Had Jellyfin and Navidrome both for years, never even tried sticking my music library into Jellyfin. I use Substreamer on my Androids.
checks if I made this comment while drunk
No, not me… Unless my drunk self has an alt I’m not aware of.
Exactly the same situation here on every part of your comment.
Can’t help with Jellyfin, tho there are many here who use it, so maybe someone will chime in. I do use Navidrome, and it checks all my boxes. It’s a pretty comprehensive package, and recently they have introduced a plug in environment. I have not got into the plug ins yet. If your music collection is rather haphazard, I’d recommend Beets. Turn it loose on your music collection and let it do it’s thing.

Good to know. I used to have a rather disorganized collection. I like to use Strawberry Music Player on my laptop and it can fetch album covers and metadata.
You asked for personal setups so I’ll answer with what i have. Jellyfin does my video stuff. TV, movie etc. And for audio I use navidrome. I tried to use jelly for all of it but the music playback sucked (for me). Navidrome is subsonic api compatiable and gives you more options for clients therefore. I even wrote my own tui player :)
If I were you I’d set up jellyfin (not exposed to the internet) and see how it goes. If the music work then awesome, you have a one stop shop for all your media. If not, then add navi on top.
Have fun :)

Any that you like in particular?
For desktop I like feishin,for android dsub2000.
Literally watched the YouTube video from click and switch that goes over replacing Spotify with this. Getting my server ready!

Until about a year ago, I was just using Jellyfin for all of my media. For music I was using the phone app FinAmp.
I set up Navidrome when I ran into a bug that made music playback unreliable. Jellyfin fixed the bug and it’s back to being rock solid, but I still mostly use Navidrome for music.
Honestly I think the only reason why I stuck with Navidrome is that it has better playlist support. Building playlists still sucks but it sucks a little less in Navidrom as it can actually import playlists made elsewhere. Other than that, Navidrome has a better web interface for music.
Dude, there are multiple replies for Symfonium. $5, and 100% worth every penny.
Requiring Google Play and Google account to download and is proprietary, I’ll pass.
They are starting to support F-Droid
I was using just jellyfin for a while but navidrome got around some issues I was having, or rather the primary user of the music library was having with various things being wrong such as duplicate artists, incorrect album art, albums split into duplicates with opposite missing tracks. Once things went wrong in jellyfin it was a pain to figure out what the cause and fix were. Navidrome seems to base everything off the embedded tags and using lidarr to rewrite the tags, and for some albums rename the files, made everything show up correctly, then a delete missing files in navidrome cleans up the evidence and everyone is happy. The playlists are stored on the server too so if you don’t like a particular client app you don’t have to remake them if you try another, or just having them persist between mobile and desktop.
