I rediscovered the joy of my own music collection by quitting Spotify and switching to self-hosted Navidrome.

    I chose Navidrome for my music collection. I basically use it when I’m outside working around the property. Put on my raggedy ass pair of Beats, I found in the thrift store for $5…had to do some repairs but they work, on a defunct old phone just for the wifi access. When I’m inside tho, I use Music Bee. Navadrome has everything I need, tho I am still searching for a mobile app that operates like I want it too. The app I’m currently using, Agin Music, is good, but there are a couple places in the operation flow that won’t let me backtrack to the previous page I was viewing. I’ll keep testing until I find one.

      Android or iOS?

      On android I found symphonium to be a great app to use with my navidrome server. On iOS, play:sub was the best experience I found

        I’ll check out ply:sub. Thank you for the recommendation.

          Nope. You can buy an infinite trial via the developers ko-fi!

          There’s info about it on the symfonium forum.

            I’ll rephrase lol it’s per device, so any issue or reflash means you have to contact?

              Yeah, you will have to send the dev the new trial ID for a re-activation.

              That’s also why it’s costs more, because it’s more manual work for him.

              It’s a chore, but really cool by the dev to offer it as an option for people with de-googled devices.

                Thanks! I agree that its cool of him to offer that, just a bit painful on all sides 🙂

        Arpeggi on iOS is the best I’ve found. Available via TestFlight invite only. I plan to switch to Android in the next year, so I’m always interested to hear what clients people like over there too.
