i just want one i can use to sync [only 20 gBs] to my phone, keep my playlists updated, and listen to music. syncing to my phone wirelessly is a big plus, but i am old enough to have two boxes of cables.
You can just use Syncthing for syncing.
But then you need a player on each platform, that works with m3u files
Which is very few, and buggy.
I use "Anrimians Simple Music Player" and Gapless/G4music, but songs are randomly disappearing from playlists. Also you need to usw default directories for the files.
I'd recommend using something like Navidrome instead of manually syncing the files.
If you go with a subsonic server like navidrome, you could pair that with something like Symfonium (paid, and only available on google play unfortunately). That's what I do currently, until something better comes along (Tempus is starting to look nice!)
