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.
Oh, and it runs flawlessly on a single SBC with no hiccup.
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 @[email protected]
-
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

I use Plexamp
Same
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
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
I have one
/media/musicfolder 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.
What features do you need? ReadyMedia aka MiniDLNA will do just fine if you use a UPNP-compliant player.
Just play on my phone, computer and android auto
If you’re interested in a self-hosted Fediverse platform for music streaming, you can try out Funkwhale. Though I personally feel like the subsonic compatibility is pretty underwhelming, which makes it annoying to stream music from a phone with a subsonic client.
I saw that one, but in that case I’m a bit frightened by copyright issues.
At work i got permission to colocate my server for free, but if i get a single c&d they’ll kick me out immediately
Hm, why would there be copyright issues with Funkwhale, but not with alternatives like Navidrome? If there would be copyright issues with Funkwhale, they would be there with Navidrome and others too right?
funkwhale is public (if i understood it correctly) while the others will be set as private in tailscale vpn - only accessible by me
Jellyfin a million times over. It manages all your music and has get integrations and apps.
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.
