Thinking of adding Navidrome and Jellyfin to my set up (lemmy.world)

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'll second that

Jellyfin can function as a music server, but it's definitely a video server first. All the other media (music, books, podcasts, etc) are basically still treated like TV shows when it comes to how they need to be rigidly organized.

Navidrome on the other hand, can just take a pile of mp3s and sort everything out based on tags. Navidrome can also handle additional artists, so it can understand that "Eminem feat Elton John" isn't a single artist. That was ultimately what made me switch from Jellyfin.
