Looking to access the music from an Android app.
Currently I’m using Jellyfin (since I already use it for other stuff), but it isn’t ideal. No option to download entire albums easily, and if the server is offline then I can’t even use the music downloaded to my phone.
This is pretty much why I never attempted to use something like Jellyfin for the music I, um, accumulated through the years. I use Spotify and Youtube these days.
What do you mean streaming? I have approximately half of the internet downloaded.
I use Owntone server and various airplay devices around the home. That way I can just use the built in Apple Remote and streaming from iOS devices. I think there is similar apps for iPhone or you can use the web ui of Owntone.
I have a dedicated music player with all my favorite music for offline listening (fiio x3 and also a pinephone with lollipop)
I also have a Jellyfin server and use finamp on my phone. It isn’t public so I have an always on WireGuard vpn.
For my stereo, I have a raspberry pi hooked up. It runs mpd and mounts the same music directory as Jellyfin using nfs.
The raspberry pi also has an nfc reader and I have nfc cards with printed artwork on them. Tapping them to the reader starts playing that album.
With JF I can only advice to use Finamp, it allows you to download your albums.
