Do you listen to music on your phone? If so, watch OS and app are you using?

Not very often, trying to wear headphones less generally. At the moment though that's done with Spotify and NTS radio apps. I might mirror my music library onto the phone though. I was also thinking of moving my music library onto a server and streaming it from there, not sure with which software yet.

The bandcamp app is great. You get 2-3 free streams of any album, plus an enormous catalogue of radio shows to discover new music through. It's really reinvigorated my passion for music.

Once you've listened to an album a couple of times, you have to pay for it and then you get unlimited streams.

If there's an artist that isn't on bandcamp (many artists on major labels aren't) then I use plexamp. The monthly bill for that server has effectively replaced my streaming bill.

Not OP, but I absolutely adored Airsonic-Advanced and DSub from F-Droid. Caching, streaming, quality-adjustment (FLAC on wifi, lower quality ogg on data), adding music, and scrobbling all worked amazingly well. Would very highly recommend, and I have yet to find anything better.

For me: Android with Symfonium, streaming (or locally cached) from my Jellyfin server.

I run navidrome on my Pi4 at home, and Wireguard on the Pi so my Android phone is always connected to home (I have a fixed IP but a DDNS would also work). On my phone I use subtracks: https://github.com/austinried/subtracks/releases
