What do you mean streaming? I have approximately half of the internet downloaded.
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.
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.
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’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 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.
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.
+1 for gelli on fdroid associated with tailscale. Good enough for my use.
i use airsonic for self hosting both music and audiobooks. on Android I use the dsub app
Currently I use Plex and plexamp on my phone but it's not that great. I used to use Subsonic with dsub on my phone and that was awesome for both podcasts and music. Only issue was podcast watch status didn't sync and now it's no longer being maintained. Might try out airsonic and see if it works the same
I carry around multiple iPod shuffles with different playlists/albums on each.
I rsync my entire library with an sdcard every week. The initial sync is slow, but the subsequent syncs are fast since only new files get copied over.
With JF I can only advice to use Finamp, it allows you to download your albums.
I currently use Jellyfin with the Gelli App from F-Droid. It does support downloading complete Albums to the cache but you can't navigate your music library while offline so this doesn't seem to be very useful (only to save data if you have a metered connection)
I used to use gonic with Ultrasonic as a client app but as I have Jellyfin for video files anyways I don't host this anymore. This setup did support offline playback though and is pretty lightweight so it might be worth a look for you.
I hadn't found any good options, so mainly use Spotify + Plex when I can't find what I need on Spotify. Will check out some of the options mentioned in here though.
I use Roon ARC to self-host my library. It is paid, but, I bought the lifetime subscription because there is really no other music app that has the features Roon has.
Other than that, I have HiBy R3 Pro that is useless for Bluetooth, and when I'm hiking I want Bluetooth.
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
I have airsonic running in a docker container behing Nginx Proxy Manager. I use play:Sub on my iphone and it lets me download albums to my cache.
I use Jellyfin and Finamp. When it works it's great, but it seems to always crap out after half an hour or so of streaming.
