how are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days?

Ultrasonic works fine for me, on my pixel9 with Navidrome. Plays in the background just fine as well.
I'll give ultrasonic a try. Thank you.

Hello fellow hass/mass user. Also, what sort of low voltage?
Fire/security alarms? Or access control? (Or both)?
I do both, as well as CCTV.
oh lawd i am glad to meet another out in the wild!
i was fortunate to start with residential alarm and A/V. due to a talent vacuum, leapfrogged to control system programmer/service, which allowed a few forks in the road (service manager, project manager and sales,) before bringing me back to my primary passion in this industry, AV programming and design.
but yeah I've installed my fair share of alarm panels, access control, thousands of camera systems.
but most of my shit has been fixing old rich people's wifi and kids/grandkids AV

after using jellyfin and emby for a long while ive gone back to basics, just local mp3s synced between devices using syncthing
something like KDE Connect might work for remote control as long as you are able to install it on both devices
wrote on last edited by [email protected]KDE connect was an absolute divine discovery when i ran across it!

Plex and PlexAmp
It's unpopular around here, but Plexamp is fantastic.

right now I'm trying a dedicated Jellyfin instance for audio only (bought the lifetime emby subscription before i learned about jellyfin, so video is elsewhere) but having trouble finding a good client that could run on the guts of an old autonomic MMS2A. That device has an analog and digital output, which with the normal OS treated as two separate sources. is that something anyone else has tinkered with? the original plan was to just run a kodi instance with the jellyfin addon, but im not sure if this has the horsepower to run kodi, and certainly not two at once! (4gb of ram max for this beast.
i need it to be remotely controllable, it'd be cool to have easy playlist management/backup that other devices could see, and potentially an android client if possible?
I've dabbled with the "____sonic" ecosystem back before i was really good at linux, and struggled a bunch, before giving up without anything real to show for it.
just curious if anyone else has been down this road successfully!
thanks for this community, my scrolling stops INSTANTLY when i see a post from here.
(oh my music server is a truenas SMB share, hosted in a proxmox vm! not opposed to putting a big SSD in this device if local music would make things easier)
emby and shares.
emby unlike jellyfish can mount remote smb shares right in the webinterface.
proxmox/lxc and jellyfin is a pain in the ass you do not want. -

Navidrome + Synfonium / Tempo
I'm trying out different things in prep to switch to navidrome. I'm impressed how lightweight it is and it hasnt required much work to fix up the library tags as most were already minimally tagged.
One I figure out a secure way to expose it behind auth I'll be able to switch over.
Its been a heck of a time trying to get forwardAuth working with Zitadel so I'm trying out Authelia

Completely agree. I paid for Symfonium after seeing a lot of people on here raving about it but I still ended up back with Plexamp. I'd be curious to hear what people find other apps do better than plexamp.

I'll second navidrome.
I've also added bonob to expose it to some sonos hardware I got for free. I've found it's the easiest way to get custom music and streaming radio into sonos. Music Assistant buffers for some reason.
I'm having the same issues with exposing it. I have mine behind Caddy+caddy-security and it works well through the browser, but I haven't found a native app that can handle that method. I think I'll add it to tailscale eventually to work around that.

Plex and Plexamp. I know the dislike for Plex here, but it works for me and Plexamp is a fantastic piece of kit which, in opinion is worth the lifetime sub alone.

What I am hoping is that I can generate an access key auth in Authelia. Synfonium supports accessKey as an alternative to basic auth for subsonic.
Maybe you could try that with caddy-security?
Synfonium is closed source, but you can use the free trial to test, and buy it outside of Google Play (which is the only reason I haven't dropped it earlier on my quest to de-Google)

The other apps don't harvest my data, for one

I use Jellyfin with Finamp on Android/PC and the Jellyfin plugin for Kodi on my HTPC.
The Jellyfin plugin does movies/shows too and not just music but it handles music playback as well. For a dedicated music box I'm not sure if I would use Kodi for it.

I got 500 gb drive pcloud with my pia socket 5 proxy/ vpn and i can play music files in their app so i put my flacs there.

I also enjoy Navidrome. What does Musicassistant add for you? Seems like it can do a whole lot

Navidrome for me. Installed via Yunohost.

i linked those together and will be testing further! i wonder what it offers over the regular smb share
tempo is slick!

I host my media on a bookshelf and play it through a stereo
I hear you Mr Audiophile. Thing is, all that space it takes to house a grand collection, when it all now fits on two 10TB drives filled with high res flac. I can't tell a difference. Not saying there isn't one, just saying I can't hear it. So, for me, it works out perfect.

I was going to try to host my music on Jellyfin, but I had an issue.
Since 2005 I’ve been curating my music collection with my old iPod that I still use.
I like my albums in release order so, with the iPod in mind, probably 80% of them are named [year] - [album]
Lidarr and Jellyfin won’t find them because of this and I don’t want to manually sort through 2000-some albums.
So I still use my iPod (20 years old next year!)
