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.
- HegemonSushi ( @hegemonsushi@lemmy.world ) English1•1 year ago
Any reason you prefer to wireguard into Navidrome instead of reverse proxying to a domain?
- jimyt666 ( @jimyt666@sh.itjust.works ) English1•1 year ago
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
- NonDollarCurrency ( @NonDollarCurrency@monero.town ) English1•1 year ago
Yeah this is it for me, I’m happy to connect to it via IP and I only have to punch 1 port open in my firewall for wireguard and I can access more than just my music server remotely.

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.
- NonDollarCurrency ( @NonDollarCurrency@monero.town ) English1•1 year ago
I mainly use DSub simply because I don’t need constant updates for my music player and it already pretty much does what I need it to. The other plus it’s on F-Droid so I don’t have to use Aurora store to download it.

Bro this is my exact setup, damn

Thanks, will try this setup

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.
- TheCakeWasNoLie ( @TheCakeWasNoLie@lemmy.world ) English3•1 year ago
I stopped using Plex when I needed an online account to access my local instance.
- ultimate_question ( @ultimate_question@lemmy.world ) English3•1 year ago
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
- gabe565 ( @gabe565@lemmy.cook.gg ) English3•1 year ago
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?
- TheCakeWasNoLie ( @TheCakeWasNoLie@lemmy.world ) English1•1 year ago
I moved to Emby, then to Jellyfin. Also, the other thing that bothered me was that with Plex I noticed I had an online account where I could access all my files. In other words, Plex was using my local data, which was the straw.
- idle ( @idle@158436977.xyz ) English8•1 year ago
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.
- Kwikxilver ( @Kwikxilver@beehaw.org ) English3•1 year ago
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!
- idle ( @idle@158436977.xyz ) English2•1 year ago
I have really wanted Plex to improve the way they support podcasts (and audiobooks) but sadly, I don’ think they care about podcasts anymore.
- Wildfire6297 ( @Wildfire6297@lemmy.one ) English4•1 year ago
Check out audiobookshelf, they’re picking up the slack from Plex; dedicated for audiobooks and podcasts.
- idle ( @idle@158436977.xyz ) English1•1 year ago
Yep, already been using it for awhile. Generally I just like having all my media in one place, so I’d prefer to have it in Plex, but, it’s just not possible and probably never will be.
- suth ( @suth@lemmy.world ) English8•1 year ago
Plexamp, the app is great, but its offline/download support is not great either
- Daniele ( @daniele@feddit.it ) English7•1 year ago
I have Plex Pass and I use Plexamp. The app is very nice. The download sometimes is flaky but I personally didn’t have issues with it much.
- PlexSheep ( @PlexSheep@feddit.de ) English7•1 year ago
What do you mean streaming? I have approximately half of the internet downloaded.
- dutchkimble ( @dutchkimble@lemmy.world ) English5•1 year ago
Hey I think I got the other half!
- Eris ( @Eris@lemmy.world ) English7•1 year ago
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.
- davad ( @davad@lemmy.world ) English10•1 year ago
+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.
- CrashingMonkies ( @CrashingMonkies@lemmy.world ) English5•1 year ago
Another +1 for Plexamp. It’s enjoyable and easy to use and they’re very actively developing and supporting it.
- Wildfire6297 ( @Wildfire6297@lemmy.one ) English6•1 year ago
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!

With JF I can only advice to use Finamp, it allows you to download your albums.
- scholar ( @scholar@lemmy.world ) English4•1 year ago
I also use Jellyfin, and Finamp is the best way to listen to music with it.
It has offline download support and has come a long way since I started using it.
- tulth ( @tulth@sh.itjust.works ) English3•1 year ago
i use airsonic for self hosting both music and audiobooks. on Android I use the dsub app
- realitista ( @realitista@lemmy.one ) English3•1 year ago
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.
- fitgse ( @fitgse@sh.itjust.works ) English3•1 year ago
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.
- Okurok ( @Okurok@sh.itjust.works ) English3•1 year ago
I use Emby(jellyfin broke with the amount of music i have and couldn’t parse it properly so i actually bought Emby subscription) + Symphonium on Android. Just checked, full album download worked for me
Symphonium actually works with Jellyfin and has trial period so you can check it out
- ExpertisePredicament ( @ExpertisePredicament@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English1•1 year ago
Another satisfied Symphonium user here. I use it with Jellyfin and everything works amazingly including offline cache and replaygain
- mad_asshatter ( @dogsnest@lemmy.world ) English1•1 year ago
+1 Symphonium
I stream my music 4 ways (redundancy ftw!)
MPD (Music Player Daemon, with its own http engine, plus icecast)
I run Airsonic (Navidrome) as well as Jellyfin.
Also, ibroadcast.com
cheers
- amansrevenger ( @amansrevenger@feddit.de ) English3•1 year ago
I use PlexAmp with Plex and Deezloader (now deemix!) that directly downloads into the Plex Folders so it instantly gets tagged and picked up ready for listening.
I had a multi-hour session with musicBrainz Picard to fix the tags, but now I dont have to manually fix anything. I even got Pokemon OSTs running sorted by Editions
I dont know how imgur albums work on lemmy
- Omega ( @Omega@beehaw.org ) English2•1 year ago
I have the same exact setup running on my server, and it’s great. I also like having my entire library downloaded on some devices (some of which are more storage constrained), so I also have deemix setup to automatically transcode the flac files to opus and put it into a folder that is synced with a cloud storage.
- amansrevenger ( @amansrevenger@feddit.de ) English2•1 year ago
Yeah I love the useability of PlexAmp combined with the “it just works” from deemix that has all the tagging done already
For reference, here is my library “summary” and the work I put in was basically finding duplicates, fixing tags to be Artist feat. Other Artist and stuff like that and that took around 3 hours to get the following script for the Picard Renaming Script part
$set(title,$rreplace(%title%,\(.*\)OST\\s+,)) $setmulti(artist,%artist%) $set(myvar,$getmulti(%artist%,0)) $if($is_multi(%artist%),$setmulti(artist,%myvar%)) $if2(%artist%)/ $if(%artist%,%album%/,) $trim(%album%) - %title%
