I am just a hobbyist and don’t do any tech for work, but I enjoy tinkering. I have a Nextcloud that I like to use to keep files between my phone and a few computers in sync. That does include my media. For my phone I have been liking an app Power Ampache 2 as it lets me stream and save music locally (I don’t have unlimited data so somethings I do want to keep).

Part of the motivation is just because and just to host more things makes me feel more pro. I am a bit curious about what otherset ups people in the community might have settled for and why?

    I haven’t tried navidrome, but my only gripe with jellyfin for music is that I can’t find any non-subscription apps that work with android auto (if someone wants to point at one, let me know!)

    I know jellyfin itself at least used to have android auto compatibility, but it was absolute shit and didn’t have even some of the basic music controls when I tried, and I am unsure if any version of the app still has that even.

          i literally just got out of my car where i was playing music using finamp in amdroid auto. IIRC there is a major rewrite going on but the builds are stable. look in the repo for instructions to use the rewrite and not the basic play store version

      Have you checked out Symfonium? Love that for music streamed from Jellyfin, and it has Android Auto listed in the settings, although I haven’t used that yet.

          I understand the Big Tech revulsion, I’m a hardcore, privacy-first self-hoster 10 years deep, but the app was like 5 bucks one time and it’s been my daily driver for about 3 years now. It tops every other android *sonic app. It has multiple backend sources so if you change your media server down the line, Symfonium will connect to it. TOTALLY WORTH THE MONEY!

            I honestly dont listen to music enough for it to be worth it to me, but it definitely looked clean and worked well when I tried it.

            I just wish it wasnt the only worthwhile option.
