IM somewhat torn.
Within the apple ecosystem it does okay. I dont like that i cant play FLAC but otherwise its mostly fine for my use. I dont really stream, everything i own outright and have on a NAS, which syncs to my phone.
With the said....outside of the ecosystem its nonexistant.
For example. Working on my linux partition....no music. Can will browse my library and make a playlist in say....audacious, but nothing Ive used before.
Same with windows.
I have strongly been considering just spinning up a VM and using navidrome and maybe play:sub on my iPhone or something.
But then thats another VM i have to tend to, even if i automate like 99% of tasks.
iTunes/Music syncing while my phone is on network also means i dont need my VPN or to DMZ navidrome...which is nice i guess.
