Looking to access the music from an Android app.

Currently I'm using Jellyfin (since I already use it for other stuff), but it isn't ideal. No option to download entire albums easily, and if the server is offline then I can't even use the music downloaded to my phone.

Jellyfin on my NAS with Symfonium (Android), great experience since many years. https://www.symfonium.app/

I rsync my entire library with an sdcard every week. The initial sync is slow, but the subsequent syncs are fast since only new files get copied over.

I currently use Jellyfin with the Gelli App from F-Droid. It does support downloading complete Albums to the cache but you can't navigate your music library while offline so this doesn't seem to be very useful (only to save data if you have a metered connection)

I used to use gonic with Ultrasonic as a client app but as I have Jellyfin for video files anyways I don't host this anymore. This setup did support offline playback though and is pretty lightweight so it might be worth a look for you.

I hadn't found any good options, so mainly use Spotify + Plex when I can't find what I need on Spotify. Will check out some of the options mentioned in here though.

Ampache with DSub for mobile clients. It's a bit clunky and dated, but I've been running it for about five years now, so it's been a successful setup by that measure.

I carry around multiple iPod shuffles with different playlists/albums on each.

Hosting Navidrome and use Symphonium to stream on-the-go. Have Navidrome on a domain via reverse proxy.

Considering limiting any risk in the future and just using something like tailscale/wireguard to just connect to the sever on-the-go, but we'll see.
