I am just a hobbyist and don't do any tech for work, but I enjoy tinkering. I have a Nextcloud that I like to use to keep files between my phone and a few computers in sync. That does include my media. For my phone I have been liking an app Power Ampache 2 as it lets me stream and save music locally (I don't have unlimited data so somethings I do want to keep).

Part of the motivation is just because and just to host more things makes me feel more pro. I am a bit curious about what otherset ups people in the community might have settled for and why?

I've used Funkwhale, and I really enjoy it for what it can offer (multiple radios, playlists, and libraries for different types of users) but if you're not really willing to share your music in the Fediverse, I'd go with JF or Navidrome.

If you don't really care about an all-in-one media player with a GUI, you could serve your music on gonic and then pick the frontend of your choice. It handles podcast subs, online radio, scrobbling, etc. it also plays well with subsonic clients and beets plugins.
