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?

Until about a year ago, I was just using Jellyfin for all of my media. For music I was using the phone app FinAmp.

I set up Navidrome when I ran into a bug that made music playback unreliable. Jellyfin fixed the bug and it's back to being rock solid, but I still mostly use Navidrome for music.

Honestly I think the only reason why I stuck with Navidrome is that it has better playlist support. Building playlists still sucks but it sucks a little less in Navidrom as it can actually import playlists made elsewhere. Other than that, Navidrome has a better web interface for music.
