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 literally just got out of my car where i was playing music using finamp in amdroid auto. IIRC there is a major rewrite going on but the builds are stable. look in the repo for instructions to use the rewrite and not the basic play store version

Pretty sure I am on the fdroid version, but that is fantastic news.

I should probably actually look at utilising obtanium for apps like finamp.
