Hey guys, so I have been searching for the different ways to self-host a music-server and don’t really know whats the best/most elegant way to go.
I know that there is navidrome and many also use jellyfin for it. Now I have a few questions:
- Are there any good apps for android for navidrome/jellyfin respectively?
- how easy can I add songs to them/do they pull metadata from somewhere (like jellyfin does for movies)
- how do they (or any other options) compare in terms of ease of setup/maintainability?
- do you have any overall recommendations?
Thanks a lot for any tips/recommendations and your help :D


I use jellyfin for my setup, mostly because I already use it for video.
It can fetch metadata from audioDB or musicbrainz.
I use the Finamp android app to play music and it works really well, even with Android Auto.
It has been fine for my usecase, so I haven’t looked into other solutions.
