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.
Similar setup for me: Navidrome container on my NAS, DSub or Symfonium on Android, and Wireguard for music while I run.
Any reason you prefer to wireguard into Navidrome instead of reverse proxying to a domain?
probably more secure that way and you dont have to fuck with domains.
i have my setup with reverse proxy and domain with plex and plex amp
Navidrome is great. I use Substreamer on my Android device while my wife can use the same on iOS. Started off a little buggy when it released but it’s very stable nowadays. I think many have moved to it from DSub according to Google Play reviews.
Lidarr to dl and plex/plexamp for listening. No issues so far. Haven’t got to use sonic analysis yet but it’s interesting that you could choose 2 songs and it will use sonic analysis to make a Playlist bridging between the two.
+1 for Plex and Plexamp. The Plexamp app works great on Android and Linux. Without that, I don’t think I’d use Plex for music.
Right now I’m using Plexamp. Really nice app, offline features work really well. Sonic Analysis is awesome. Only issue I have is it crashed sometimes when I’m using Google maps.
Plexamp is what I use. It’s the closest feel to using my iPod touch back in the day. I just wish there was a better way to display archived podcasts!
I have really wanted Plex to improve the way they support podcasts (and audiobooks) but sadly, I don’ think they care about podcasts anymore.
Check out audiobookshelf, they’re picking up the slack from Plex; dedicated for audiobooks and podcasts.
I’ve been using navidrome since the start of the year. It was my first instance of self hosting my music and my main focus was to have a dedicated project for it and to not use something like Plex, Jellyfin, etc. I’ve been liking it so far, it’s simple and just hosts and streams music. Doesn’t have any client side apps or any tagging or smart algorithmic playlists, which is fine by me. Plenty of iOS and Android client side apps with varying features that can download. Worth checking out!
I use Plexamp with a lifetime Plex Pass subscription and love it. I mostly use it steam and keep some sonic analysis based radio stations downloaded for offline use.
I stopped using Plex when I needed an online account to access my local instance.
I use Plex with Plexamp and love it other than the forced online account, which is minor enough in my opinion that it’s been hard to justify looking for an alternative. What did you move to?
Yes there’s something particularly sketchy about an app that makes those kind of anti-user corporate decisions when it owes its popularity to the piracy community
