right now I’m trying a dedicated Jellyfin instance for audio only (bought the lifetime emby subscription before i learned about jellyfin, so video is elsewhere) but having trouble finding a good client that could run on the guts of an old autonomic MMS2A. That device has an analog and digital output, which with the normal OS treated as two separate sources. is that something anyone else has tinkered with? the original plan was to just run a kodi instance with the jellyfin addon, but im not sure if this has the horsepower to run kodi, and certainly not two at once! (4gb of ram max for this beast.
i need it to be remotely controllable, it’d be cool to have easy playlist management/backup that other devices could see, and potentially an android client if possible?
I’ve dabbled with the “____sonic” ecosystem back before i was really good at linux, and struggled a bunch, before giving up without anything real to show for it.
just curious if anyone else has been down this road successfully!
thanks for this community, my scrolling stops INSTANTLY when i see a post from here.
(oh my music server is a truenas SMB share, hosted in a proxmox vm! not opposed to putting a big SSD in this device if local music would make things easier)
Honestly just in ~/Music and stuff I’d like to listen to on the go gets copied onto my phone.
Plex and Plexamp. I know the dislike for Plex here, but it works for me and Plexamp is a fantastic piece of kit which, in opinion is worth the lifetime sub alone.
Yep same, Plexamp is the reason I used plex still
Plexamp is mind blowingly good. Great UX. Perfect legibility. No discovery/ads up in your face. Just you listening to your music how you like it. Streaming is ROCK SOLID. Downloads work flawlessly. It just relies on proper metadata in Plex.
Plex and PlexAmp
It’s unpopular around here, but Plexamp is fantastic.
E:\mp3
Why do I see no mentions of Ampache here? From what I found, it was the only program except Navidrome to support nested smart playlist, and Ampache has the editor directly in the web interface.
Anyways, I host mine too! Over 2TB of music files on my server, and it runs pretty well.
Wow. Maybe create some torrents out of your collection? 😉
They’re available in Soulseek! Both Soulseek and Ampache share the same directory. I was thinking of creating a torrent, but I am still in the process of deduplicating them, so I decided against it.
slsk and nicotine+ have been so cool for so long!
i feel bad when im likely destroying someone’s uploads because i found a hidden treasure of FLACs from some older or obscure artists
Don’t feel bad, just share back :)
Plex + Synfonium
Also
Navidrome + Synfonium / Tempo
I’m trying out different things in prep to switch to navidrome. I’m impressed how lightweight it is and it hasnt required much work to fix up the library tags as most were already minimally tagged.
One I figure out a secure way to expose it behind auth I’ll be able to switch over.
Its been a heck of a time trying to get forwardAuth working with Zitadel so I’m trying out Authelia
I’ll second navidrome.
I’ve also added bonob to expose it to some sonos hardware I got for free. I’ve found it’s the easiest way to get custom music and streaming radio into sonos. Music Assistant buffers for some reason.
I’m having the same issues with exposing it. I have mine behind Caddy+caddy-security and it works well through the browser, but I haven’t found a native app that can handle that method. I think I’ll add it to tailscale eventually to work around that.
I use Jellyfin with FinAmp for Android. Even supports offline caching.
Navidrome server, symfonium on android is amazing. I also use maloja and multi-scrobbler to caoture plays from multiple sources and keep a in-house record of my plays.

I just have a bunch of media files (.ogg, .mp3, etc.) in directories and play them with mplayer from the command line. Playlist = shell script that plays some group of files. I use old school track numbering (01-whatever, 02-whatsit, etc.) though, so most of the time “mplayer *” is how I play an album and the tracks play automatically in the right order. I don’t understand the purpose of anything fancier. Now get off my lawn.
@solrize @SidewaysHighways @selfhosted this is a sad, boomer take, is not even funny.
I just don’t get it, I’ve seen people struggle with itunes, that stuff is way too complicated and I don’t see any need for it. Maybe I’m missing something but if I want to play some music and it’s in a file, saying “play this file” seems about as direct as it gets.
@solrize @selfhosted assuming you have the file in the same machine you want to listen to it, and you are the only one who wants to access it, sure that is fine
