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?

    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

    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.

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

    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.
