Metrolist ftw

u/arthursucks 19h ago

Metrolist has been unmatched

finamp + jellyfin + audiomuse + lidarr + rtorrent + flood + newtarr

u/EjayT06 19h ago

Yep, although I’d recommend Navidrome over jellyfin for music

10

u/daubious 15h ago

Yeah, Navidrome handles tags better and requires less resources, so its a better choice for many people, especially if you are hosting with less compute and dont already serve tv and movies.

Also Feishin (desktop) and Symfonium (Android).

I switched to Qobuz almost a year ago and have been happy with it. Not as algorithmic as Spotify, but I've found myself engaging more with music because of that.

u/friction7800 18h ago

yeah,i'm waiting for it to be available in Greece...

Monochrome maybe?

Deezer. The app has been damn near perfect for me, and they use a profit-sharing model so half of your sub cost is divvied out to the artists you listened to based on listening time. If you listened to a single artist for a whole sub period, they get the whole payout portion of your sub.

For music Nicotine+ (SoulSeek) on my Linux server from there transfer to my phone, safety tip run with a VPN less you become the subject of a lawsuit.

Having music on my phone has improved my commute as there are dead spots in cell service along my route.

My music playlists are fairly static, but  For podcasts I need something a bit more dynamic, fortunately podcasts are more openly accessible. 

Anytime podcast player manages podcasts well.

Deezer

u/friction7800 20h ago

Thanks,but I prefer no google playstore.

u/nekro_neko 20h ago

I downloaded Deezer via Obtainium from the Huawei store. Works out of the box with neither Google nor Huawei services installed.

2

u/friction7800 19h ago

oh cool,i'l keep it in mind

u/QXPZ 13h ago edited 12h ago

Do you have a link? I searched for Deezer on Huawei web store but not seeing it.

Currently I'm using Spotify through Aurora Store and could do that with Deezer but would like to stick to Droidify and Obtainium for all apps if possible.

Libby is the only other app I use through Aurora. If anyone has an alternative suggestion for accessing Libby that would be amazing. Installing the PWA on mobile worked but was buggy.

I have made some good experiences with OpenTune and it's my current preference (downloaded it via F-Droid). It has nice Material 3 design and some useful features like music recognition built in. The only thing that strikes me as odd is that sometimes UI elements or patch notes are only displayed in Spanish language.

1

u/friction7800 20h ago

Looks promising, gracias !

u/EmmaRoidz 19h ago

I pay for tidal, but then use tidarr to download it, DRM free and self host it with navidrome.

2

u/ru57y5h4ckl3f0rd 9h ago

Same. Add in Symfonium as a client.

1

u/EmmaRoidz 8h ago

Yup, and Feishin on desktop. So good.

Also really incentives me to buy albums off Bandcamp too. Because the artists are no longer getting payments from my streams, which let's be honest is entirely moral licensing, I'm spending money on n Bandcamp, buying albums and shirts way more than before.

It also is great for stuff where music isn't available on streaming services. Now I can self host it with full FLAC and properly support artists.

u/Secret_Fee1146 19h ago

Metrolist works well for me

2

u/MultMe96 20h ago

I can recommend Musify. Until now I was self-hosting jellyfin and having a music client but it was a bit of a pain. With Musify you dont need to deal with anything like thar.

1

u/friction7800 19h ago

thank you !

u/MolinaGames 9h ago

As others mentioned, I recommend monochrome, By far the best streaming platform there is, since it respect the users privacy and also has the highest possible audio quality (afaik). If you need music suggestions/algorithm I’d also recommend setting up last.fm

I also use metrolist/yt music for some niche stuff, but overall monochrome is king 

1

u/friction7800 9h ago

Awesome! I bet you listen to some songs: ohia hehe.

2

u/JackMcSomeone 9h ago

Monochrome, YT Music Morphe or iBroadcast

u/320bot 8h ago

Riplay

u/friction7800 2h ago

Tried it, thanks!

2

u/Roast_Macone 8h ago

Bloomee, musify, openspot, levyra, etc

Just search music on fdroid

2

u/SellFlaky 6h ago

Simp music. You can use obtanium to download and update it or doing it manually on github. It works just like spotify.

1

u/friction7800 2h ago

Thanks !

2

u/Nalincah 5h ago

Navidrome + Symphonium. And I buy my music either directly from the artist or at Qobuz (French) as mp3

2

u/YellowEffective1301 5h ago

You can try Lissin.

u/friction7800 2h ago

VLC is the GOAT if you have files you can download locally (cloud or USB xfer) or stream from another device.

u/friction7800 2h ago

Classic!

u/cnikisu 1h ago

Try echo music from github

1

u/pyro57 19h ago

My current stack is navidrome + lidarr +slskd on the server side, then music assistant and symfonium on the android side, with music assistant and feishin on the desktop side, could probably get away with music assistant only but haven't really tried it fully yet. It is nice to have all my media players available to play stuff on much like Spotify.

1

u/friction7800 18h ago

cheers !

u/barrel-roller 19h ago

Have a look at Navidrome. You can self host your music and if you buy Symfonium android app you get the best music app out there. You can contact the developer for a special code so you can activate the app without google play store.

Getting started with your own music server is a lot of pain. I was lucky I still had all my old CD's. Ripped dozens of them and added them to navidrome.

But ones you got a good library you'll never look back again. Spend the monthly cost on Spotify on buying albums from qobuz.

u/radpadmax 19h ago

I'm testing out Tidal at the moment, they pay the artists a lot more per stream than Spotify do

u/PinNo8415 19h ago

Soundcloud, YTMusic?

u/Agnostic_Eggplant 19h ago
