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

Tempus is phenomenal. I switched to navidrome on my server to use it. Chora is also good, and I use it on my TV (works well on any screen). If you don't mind closed-source, Symphonum is excellent.

If you are using Jellyfin, it works well on PC, with Fintunes on mobile.

You can find a number of good apps for navidrome here. I quite like Strawberry, which is cross-platform. I use it locally for library management.

I connect everything with Tailscale, which is dead simple.

Thanks for the Chora recommendation, I recently pushed the Tempus apk to my tv as the dev has been working on better landscape screen support, but navigating it on tv still requires a mouse unfortunately.

I'll definitely give Chora a try when I get home

Are you me? Cause I have exactly the same setup. Navidrome, tailscale, the whole thing. I also use strawberry. It's OK but a bit basic. I recently tried Nocturne for desktop, looks promising, but still somewhat buggy.
