    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 !

      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?

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

            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.

                    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.

                          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.

                          I was going to say that Finamp doesn't support offline filtering by artists, but when looking for the open issue I just found out the beta does support this! Awesome!

                            Just use this. It's by far the best option

                              reiterating that Navidrome is superb, it just... never stops working, I'm always shocked how reliable it is to be honest, no matter what I throw at it

                              I also love Tempo on android (find it on Fdroid)

                                I'm using Jellyfin + Synfonium, the offline caching is brilliant.

                                  Except working without play services, that is, and some of us aren't fans of having those around.

                                    According to the dev, Play Services is only needed for casting:

                                    "...you only need play services for Chromecast." SOURCE, replying to a GrapheneOS user

                                    He even offers an option to install without the play store (via Aurora) and to contact him for the license. SOURCE

                                      I use navidrome + tempo and I'm happy with them..sometimes I feel like the shuffle function is not that great..I get some tracks way more often than others but then I just press next..

                                        I have a #Jellyfin server at home where i store my music files. In my android phone i use #Finamp for listening to music from jellyfin. I also tried the jellyfn app, Gelli and findroid, but my favorite so far is Finamp.

                                          I have a #Jellyfin server at home where i store my music files. In my android phone i use #Finamp for listening to music from jellyfin. I also tried the jellyfn app, Gelli and findroid, but my favorite so far is Finamp.

                                          @carloshr @ev1lchris @selfhosted "symfonium" is amazing on android. It is for pay, $3.99, but I found it worth it. It gets updates relentlessly and is amazing. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.symfonik.music.player
