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?

    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.
