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.

    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

        can myMPD manage different users

        It has support for partitioning but I had some issues with myMPD at least not handling them well. Each partition is a virtual player / output

        did you manage to have artist images

        MALP gets its artwork dynamically from MusicBrainz or some other service. Same for myMPD. I don’t really bother with managing that locally.

          mmm, ok, i’ll give it a try. For personal use i’m fine driving everything with malp. I was thinking about giving a couple of people the ability to remote play what they want.

          for album art malp honour the one embedded in id3 tags. As for artist i keep them blank because if there is an error or two groups with the same name, or a not so known local groups, in malp end up being wrong which i hate.

            MALP and myMPD both honor the ID3-embedded art. yes, and I believe those take precedence over pulling from a remote API.

            A lot of my music is old CD rips without any embedded images, and the ones that do have them are often incorrect from trying to embed them a long time ago. (e.g. half my music from the late 90s all have Silverchair’s Freak Show album cover as the embedded artwork)

            TBH, I don’t really pay attention to the album art that much. I’ve lived without it long enough, so for me, it’s nice when it works and is correct, but I don’t really sweat it if not.

    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.

    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)

    • librespot-org
    • mpd
    • home assistant (which is part of a broader setup) to toggle between snap and mpd

    I have one /media/music folder 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.
