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.

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 use airsonic for self hosting both music and audiobooks. on Android I use the dsub app
+1 for gelli on fdroid associated with tailscale. Good enough for my use.
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 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 carry around multiple iPod shuffles with different playlists/albums on each.
I have a dedicated music player with all my favorite music for offline listening (fiio x3 and also a pinephone with lollipop)
I also have a Jellyfin server and use finamp on my phone. It isn’t public so I have an always on WireGuard vpn.
For my stereo, I have a raspberry pi hooked up. It runs mpd and mounts the same music directory as Jellyfin using nfs.
The raspberry pi also has an nfc reader and I have nfc cards with printed artwork on them. Tapping them to the reader starts playing that album.
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!
What do you mean streaming? I have approximately half of the internet downloaded.
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 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 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.
