    I have experimented with FinAmp, Jellyfin, Plexamp, and Symformium.

    I really hate to say it, but Plexamp is the best out of all of them. The thing is, I wanted to ditch Plex because I do not like them anymore.

    Can anyone recommend me a good free app for Android that can stream my music collection?

    Navidrome + Tempo is probably the best experience I ever had on mobile !

    However, Tempo hasn't been updated for a few months now and hope the maintainer is doing okay?

    Tried a few other alternatives but Tempo came out the best IMO !

      What features are you missing in Finamp? I would say it's pretty freaking good. Although I don't have any experience with Plex and its clients.

      Not OP, but when I was looking for an alternative it was the music analysis and Auto-Playlist/DJ features that set Plexamp apart.

        I like Finamp, but one thing that comes to mind is if I try to reorder the tracks on the queue, it doesn't work as expected. It moves different tracks instead, it's very buggy.

            I agree, the DJ and playlist features are pretty great. Definitely what I missed when trying Finamp. If anyone has another suggestion that does similar I'm game to try. Just to try and start to divest from Plex.

              Made the switch from Airsonic + Ultrasonic and second this.

              And hoping Tempo's maintainer is still working on it.

                Not bad at all! You have your classic shuffle discovery, but also a playlist from songs you liked, and many exploration shortcuts like music by decades. It also got me into scrobbling to listenbrainz.

                  Can you link to Tempo? The name is rather generic making it hard to find.

                  Edit: found it on F-droid. Benefit of a smaller pool.

                  Sucks that there's no auto playlist. I like to be able to one click make a radio station from an artist.

                              After trying a couple apps with Jellyfin for a bit, I switched to Ultrasonic with Navidrome and never looked back.

                              My read on Jellyfin is that it's probably better suited for TV and movies than it is for music.

                                    Symfonium

                                    What didn't you like about it?

                                    That's what I'm using after looking at a bunch of other options based on my requirements, and while I didn't want to go with a closed source, paid app, it does everything.

                                      I have experimented with FinAmp, Jellyfin, Plexamp, and Symformium.

                                      I really hate to say it, but Plexamp is the best out of all of them. The thing is, I wanted to ditch Plex because I do not like them anymore.

                                      Can anyone recommend me a good free app for Android that can stream my music collection?

                                      Like others have stated. Navidrome. It's the only open sources backend I've found to properly handle my ~14TB music library without having performance issues.

                                        I use Finamp with my Jellyfin library for simplicity’s sake. Other things probably have better UI and such, but it’s nice to just dump all my media in my Jellyfin folders and move on.
