I have an old android xiaomi phone with 128 GB of storage that I want to use as a music streaming server that I can access from my current phone and computer.

I want to know if this is possible and if it is, can it be done without rooting?

To properly do this the phone has to support it at hardware level. Pixel and iPhone have this feature but don't know about yours. There are apps like battery guru which will alert you, but you have to manually unplug at that point.
