I use musicbee and I find it to be perfect. Also used plex’s Plexamp to stream music to my phone, It genuinely feels premium and is worth the plex pass for this alone. Though I still used pirated .apk anyway lol
I use jellyfin it means I can listen from a bunch of devices and not need to duplicate my files which is handy when you have a large varied music collection
Jellyfin is awesome for both music and video libraries.
VLC
On Android it’s the only one I’ve found that plays OPUS and organizes by album artist rather than song artist.
Poweramp on Android for my phone and VLC on desktop
winamp ftw
Love this thread! Here is my setup (with some questions for the experts!):
-
For my “”“HiFi system”“” (amp + loudspeakers) I use Moodeaudio in a Raspberry Pi with a HiFiBerry DAC hat, so it is a mpd with modifications reading my FLAC collection from a NAS (an Odroid XU4 with the custom case and a 3TB harddisk drive).
-
Connected to my amp there is an old Mac Mini Server 2011 which I use to download and “curate” music before it goes to the NAS. In macOS, VLC is my preferred way to listen to music, but sometimes I use Tidal to stream music. I tried Pine Player but it is unstable as hell, at least the version that you can install on High Sierra. Any solutions here?
-
I have a Navidrome instance running in my NAS and use Substreamer in my daily drive phone with a external DAC (Truthear) and Truthear Zero IEMs. I need help with Android resampling, how can I avoid it?
-
Also, I use an old iPhone connected to a Headphone Amp that I use as a network streamer. iOS doesn’t resample sound :D with Substreamer. The headphone Amp powers an Audio Technica M40x headphones.

Foobar2000 at home, an old iPod classic on the go
Good old foobar is what I use. Sometimes I get weird though and listen with MPC
Symfonium (Android) and Sonixd (Windows) to stream from my self-hosted Navidrome server. Has worked great for me with my 35k song library.
I’ve been using MusicBee for a while on desktop and am pretty happy with it. I just set up Jellyfin, so we’ll see how that goes – so far I’m liking it.
I use airsonic. So airsonic’s webUI when on Desktop and Audinaut(on android) when on the go.
Dsub is still an awesome android app for subsonic. Feel like I need to replace air sonic but haven’t found anything that works as well
Yeah. I seen that air-sonic has not been updated in quite a while. I would be willing to try something new. The only other one I know of is FunkWhale. But that is what I switched from. Airsonic worked a lot better for me. Funkwhale keeps getting updates though.
Vinyl (F-Droid)
was using this app for the longest time and really enjoyed it, but it had some issues with the metadata on some of my music, which was a shame.
Strawberry on my PC, Poweramp on my phone. Currently I don’t stream music.
I use plexamp. it’s great.
Strawberry is the way to go for linux users. Also Navidrome for streaming to my mobile
i used to use musicbee when I was still on windows, but I haven’t found a compatible version for my linux distro. I ended up going with quodlibet instead, it has many of the same features and does a pretty good job of making my brain happy :)
also musicbee for windows and simple music player for android, I don´t stream pirated music, I use a deezer modded apk
