Recommendations for music-setup? (sopuli.xyz)

Hey guys, so I have been searching for the different ways to self-host a music-server and don't really know whats the best/most elegant way to go.

I know that there is navidrome and many also use jellyfin for it. Now I have a few questions:

Are there any good apps for android for navidrome/jellyfin respectively?
how easy can I add songs to them/do they pull metadata from somewhere (like jellyfin does for movies)
how do they (or any other options) compare in terms of ease of setup/maintainability?
do you have any overall recommendations?

Thanks a lot for any tips/recommendations and your help :D

I personally use Navidrome to host the music, and there are multiple android clients; personally I use Symfonium, but there is also Tempus and Tempo.

Jellyfin can also do Music.

The Music I put on Navidrome already has correct metadata, so I haven't worried about that aspect.

Its easy to maintain because I run it with docker.

Fyi, it's best not to recommend Tempo these days as it's no longer maintained. Tempus is the fork of Tempo that's still receiving regular updates (at a really good pace!)

Good to know! Thanks for sharing. Tempus seems quite nice. Though Android Auto didnt work for me last I checked even with the update.

I think since Android Auto compatibility requires proprietary Google binaries embedded in the apk, the degoogled version distributed on f-droid (as per f-droid's terms) isn't compatible. There's a "full version" distributed in the github releases if you're okay with those being included.

You can keep apps from github updated using Obtaining if you like.

Thats where I got mine, GitHub, ubdating with Obtainium!
