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.

        Another +1 for Plexamp. It’s enjoyable and easy to use and they’re very actively developing and supporting it.

    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.

    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!

    I use Jellyfin and Finamp. When it works it’s great, but it seems to always crap out after half an hour or so of streaming.
