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.
I tried Navidrome but am now very happy with Plex and Plexamp.
I have airsonic running in a docker container behing Nginx Proxy Manager. I use play:Sub on my iphone and it lets me download albums to my cache.
I use Roon ARC to self-host my library. It is paid, but, I bought the lifetime subscription because there is really no other music app that has the features Roon has.
Other than that, I have HiBy R3 Pro that is useless for Bluetooth, and when I'm hiking I want Bluetooth.
i use airsonic for self hosting both music and audiobooks. on Android I use the dsub app
Currently I use Plex and plexamp on my phone but it's not that great. I used to use Subsonic with dsub on my phone and that was awesome for both podcasts and music. Only issue was podcast watch status didn't sync and now it's no longer being maintained. Might try out airsonic and see if it works the same
What do you mean streaming? I have approximately half of the internet downloaded.
Right now I'm using Plexamp. Really nice app, offline features work really well. Sonic Analysis is awesome. Only issue I have is it crashed sometimes when I'm using Google maps.
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 tried jellyfin with finamp, tried synology's solution, plex, kodi. However, maitaining the library is just an endless hassle with correcting tags and pictures, genres. Tried many tools to fix it but went actually away from this a couple of years back. Now it is Internet Radio Stations in my sonos automated with motion sensors via homeassistant with volume and station depending on the time of the day and day of the week
This is pretty much why I never attempted to use something like Jellyfin for the music I, um, accumulated through the years. I use Spotify and Youtube these days.
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.
Interesting. I don’t see this issue.
It's probably just my machine showing its age.
