Jellyfin and/or plex will do that, and it's what I'm using.
The BF has an account and a music library, and I have a different one.
It’s especially nice to use either of these on Linux because you can use symlinks to have the server think the audio files are in more than one place without using any extra storage space.
Just be cautious when moving or backing up the files, things like rsync and bakula have specific flags needed to preserve symlinks.
You could go even further and use hard links. That way, you can have two paths pointing to the same data on the partition, with the space getting cleaned up only after all references to it are removed.
Absolutely!
If anyone is interested here's a great thread on it

Good point!
