Hey guys, so I have been searching for the different ways to self-host a music-server and don’t really know whats the best/most elegant way to go.

I know that there is navidrome and many also use jellyfin for it. Now I have a few questions:

  • Are there any good apps for android for navidrome/jellyfin respectively?
  • how easy can I add songs to them/do they pull metadata from somewhere (like jellyfin does for movies)
  • how do they (or any other options) compare in terms of ease of setup/maintainability?
  • do you have any overall recommendations?

Thanks a lot for any tips/recommendations and your help :D

    I use navidrome and jellyfin but mostly navidrome. Jellyfin is useful to fetch lyrics.

    I like tempo to use navidrome. You can use jellyfin on your phone…I’ve used finamp once…it was good but seemed like useless since I had jellyfin to watch my shows on my phone too.

    You can set navidrome to get info from Spotify or musicbrainz. I used both but I can’t really tell which one is better. Spotify seems better at getting artist info but I’m not sure.

    Both are pretty much set up and forget.

    I’m happy with navidrome and tempo on my phone.
