I use jellyfin it means I can listen from a bunch of devices and not need to duplicate my files which is handy when you have a large varied music collection

Jellyfin is awesome for both music and video libraries.
VLC
On Android it's the only one I've found that plays OPUS and organizes by album artist rather than song artist.
Poweramp on Android for my phone and VLC on desktop
Love this thread! Here is my setup (with some questions for the experts!):
-
For my """HiFi system""" (amp + loudspeakers) I use Moodeaudio in a Raspberry Pi with a HiFiBerry DAC hat, so it is a mpd with modifications reading my FLAC collection from a NAS (an Odroid XU4 with the custom case and a 3TB harddisk drive).
-
Connected to my amp there is an old Mac Mini Server 2011 which I use to download and "curate" music before it goes to the NAS. In macOS, VLC is my preferred way to listen to music, but sometimes I use Tidal to stream music. I tried Pine Player but it is unstable as hell, at least the version that you can install on High Sierra. Any solutions here?
-
I have a Navidrome instance running in my NAS and use Substreamer in my daily drive phone with a external DAC (Truthear) and Truthear Zero IEMs. I need help with Android resampling, how can I avoid it?
-
Also, I use an old iPhone connected to a Headphone Amp that I use as a network streamer. iOS doesn't resample sound :D with Substreamer. The headphone Amp powers an Audio Technica M40x headphones.
Symfonium (Android) and Sonixd (Windows) to stream from my self-hosted Navidrome server. Has worked great for me with my 35k song library.
Still at foobar2000 :)
Quality? ✅ Performance? ✅ Usability? ✅ Powerful and Vast Add-ons? ✅ Massive DSP? ✅ Good Looking? ❌ (Easy to use UI, but man it looks Windows 98 as hell!)
Foobar2000 is a Fantastic choice if you do not care about the look of your player but only the quality and ease of use. At some point and time I remember Foobar had a ton of custom themes made by the community, but they all were a pain to install or remove. 😅
(I'm not an audiophile by any means, but for me Aimp and MusicBee did sound good as well, but I preferred Foobar since I had more control over DSP and other stuff...)
Good old foobar is what I use. Sometimes I get weird though and listen with MPC
Vinyl (F-Droid)
was using this app for the longest time and really enjoyed it, but it had some issues with the metadata on some of my music, which was a shame.
Poweramp and WACUP
Foobar2000 at home, an old iPod classic on the go
I'm loving Symfonium streaming via Navidrome/Tailscale, Spotify killer.
Kodi for 10ft interface, mpv or mpv+ranger for desktop/laptop/ssh.
Same. Symfonium has the most polish of the subsonic apps I tried. Don't miss Spotify at all.
Are you using the warwickh Kodi plugin? It's been working pretty well for me.
Sticking with Sonixd for desktop for now but watching the development of Feishin (MPV).
Harmonoid is pretty cool (though the dev is a bit of a dick.) Also Metro on Android.
I used Harmonoid too and I found it cool too though it lacks some features compared to other players. What did the dev do tho?
Kicked Damon (one of FMHY's mods) after he answered a question in their discord.
(these msgs have since been deleted)
Ayo didn't know about that, this is some bullshit..
i used to use musicbee when I was still on windows, but I haven't found a compatible version for my linux distro. I ended up going with quodlibet instead, it has many of the same features and does a pretty good job of making my brain happy :)
mpd and ncmpcpp cause i wanna feel cool lol
What do you do for mobile? Is there a good app to stream from mpd?
on mobile i use blackplayer, but im not like sold on it. I don't think it makes sense to stream from my mpd instance to my phone cause for me the whole idea is local files for offline listening. but if i were to stream from my PC i would use navidrome/subsonic and not MPD
