I have 49 gb of music and at the moment i just sync it between my devices with syncthing. But i think it will be better if i stream it, as the storage on my phone is limited.
Which streaming server do you recommend?
I saw nextcloud music, but i have the feeling it’s half backed and it will just clog my nextcloud install. Or supysonic? Ampache?
I use Navidrome. Really well made clients for anything, ability to select transcoding method (or lack thereof) based on a client, changing of following songs etc.
Oh, and it runs flawlessly on a single SBC with no hiccup.
I use Plexamp
Same
May not be the fanciest, but I use MPD.
When I’m home, it outputs to a pipe that feeds Snapcast for my multi-room audio. If I’m away, I can stream it through MALP on Android or through a web interface (myMPD)
this one too, for in-house hifi managing, is really great. I never used myMPD though, i’m using the basic http streaming feature and keep controlling from malp / vpn eventually.
Couple of questions for @ptz@dubvee.org
-
can myMPD manage different users choosing to play different stuff at the same time ?
-
did you manage to have artist images on MALP at your control ? That only fanart is often wrong/inaccurate so i keep them off

I’ve been using Plex and Plexamp for ages. I have about two terabytes of flacs in my NAS, and Plexamp seamlessly encodes it to 128 kbps Opus when listening on a mobile network, or streams the flac as-is if on Wi-Fi. It has a good recommendation engine and a very nice UI. Worth the money, if you ask me.
I use navidrome, it’s pretty simple to setup and use and has support for many clients. For mobile I use Ultrasonic and sonixd for desktop
I use:
- raspberry pi w/Geekworm Raspberry Pi 4B/3B+/3B Full-HD DAC
- snapcast
- librespot-org
- mpd
- home assistant (which is part of a broader setup) to toggle between snap and mpd
Navidrome has been a revelation for me, I use it along with the absolutely brilliant app Symfonium. It took me a long time to get here, but it’s a killer combination that does everything I want it to do. It has been so seamless that I had to look up what it was called because I haven’t had to tinker with it for months. Tailscale works well as a VPN solution too if you need one, but you might be fine with reverse proxies etc. (popping my lemmy cherry with this comment btw)
I used Jellyfin with Finamp on my phone.
Please do add a tag to your post as stated on the sublemmy sidebar! Thank you. :)
Jellyfin a million times over. It manages all your music and has get integrations and apps.
What features do you need? ReadyMedia aka MiniDLNA will do just fine if you use a UPNP-compliant player.
Just play on my phone, computer and android auto
I have one
/media/musicfolder which I have connected to both Jellyfin and Gonic (Subsonic). I use Gonic because it’s lighter weight than Navidrome and I don’t care about a web interface.FinAmp is the nicest iOS music client I’ve found, and it only works with Jellyfin. On the Mac I recently started using SuperSonic (which is simple but has been more reliable for me than sonixd) which uses Gonic.
play:Sub is the most polished iOS SubSonic client, but I find the UI fussy and hard to use one-handed. Amperfy, SubStreamer, and Soundwaves are all worth trying but each frustrating in their own way. I like Amperfy the best at the moment.
Also Jellyfin, but I use a paid app, S2 player. Been the best out of all I’ve tried so far. Can even aggregate with local music stored on the phone.
