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.

    I use Navidrome as the backend and DSub to connect to it. When I’m on the go I use a site-to-site wireguard VPN connection back to my server to listen to music and it also caches the songs so even if I don’t have reception I can still listen to my music.

    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.

    I have a dedicated music player with all my favorite music for offline listening (fiio x3 and also a pinephone with lollipop)

    I also have a Jellyfin server and use finamp on my phone. It isn’t public so I have an always on WireGuard vpn.

    For my stereo, I have a raspberry pi hooked up. It runs mpd and mounts the same music directory as Jellyfin using nfs.

    The raspberry pi also has an nfc reader and I have nfc cards with printed artwork on them. Tapping them to the reader starts playing that album.

      This is pretty much why I never attempted to use something like Jellyfin for the music I, um, accumulated through the years. I use Spotify and Youtube these days.

    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.

    Currently I use Plex and plexamp on my phone but it’s not that great. I used to use Subsonic with dsub on my phone and that was awesome for both podcasts and music. Only issue was podcast watch status didn’t sync and now it’s no longer being maintained. Might try out airsonic and see if it works the same

    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!

    Right now I’m using Plexamp. Really nice app, offline features work really well. Sonic Analysis is awesome. Only issue I have is it crashed sometimes when I’m using Google maps.

    I use Roon ARC to self-host my library. It is paid, but, I bought the lifetime subscription because there is really no other music app that has the features Roon has.

    Other than that, I have HiBy R3 Pro that is useless for Bluetooth, and when I’m hiking I want Bluetooth.

    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.
