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 have been using Jellyfin, and finamp. Its OK but clunky. I generally use SLSKD as most my music is randoms. I have been using slsk-batchdl to bring my old playlists over. Its 85% hit so i am ok with that. I am not quite complete.

    If i were to setup Navidrome would i be better off making sure all my files are on my drive and then setting up? and letting it organize?
