For other's like us who like to keep local audio files around, check out 'cmus'. It's my current favourite audio player.

Don't forget about beautiful, messy apps like Airsonic that you host yourself. It's the best solution IMO. You can listen to your whole collection at the quality you want on basically every platform. A fork of pSub is what I use a primary CLI player for it, but the mobile apps are also great. You can cache music locally, so I like to queue up a few albums before I leave the house (not that I do that often nowadays) so I can listen to them while driving without using any precious mobile data.

I'll have to look it up, sounds like a great addition to a homelab.

Thanks!

I actually did read through that thread the other day. If I understood it correctly, it looks like it's in a state of transfer to community development.
