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.

I use Plexamp

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)

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)

Please do add a tag to your post as stated on the sublemmy sidebar! Thank you. :)

I used Jellyfin with Finamp on my phone.

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

What features do you need? ReadyMedia aka MiniDLNA will do just fine if you use a UPNP-compliant player.

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

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.

Jellyfin a million times over. It manages all your music and has get integrations and apps.
