Comment on What do you use for music library streaming?
remon@ani.social 20 hours agoSo you only listen to music on once device?
If not, do you swap the SD card between devices all the time or do you have a separate SD card for all devices? How do you keep them in sync, transfer playlists, etc?
Yeah, go local as in: Run your own media server and stream from that.
But actually keeping music files on the device only is step in the wrong direction.

i listen on two devices: my phone and my PC.
i transfer playlist files with the audio files.
depends on ppl’s use cases. a home media server is over-engineered solution for me, and perhaps others. but it’s good to stop for second and consider what one’s needs actually are.

I hate the kid-pidgin, but you make a really good point here:
I mean, this is always excellent.
Too often - you’ll see it in this comment thread - we go all out and show our own solution would fit OP’s case. And to them it must sound like “if you want a coke from the sev(7-eleven, like circle-k, Ted) you’re gonna need a van, a really big spring, a holocaust cloak and a wheelbarrow for sure.”
Considering OP’s situation, skill level, fuckery tolerance and perseverance is key. Resilio could be all they need, here – Not elegant, not D.R.Y, not pretty, but its fuckery is low (good g.o.l.f number), but it could be fire-and-forget.
Now, I’m not sure you’re not replying to a comment that says the same thing …just, not as well. Still good advice.

Right, but considering that OP is already running a media server and also is looking for a way to curated his library, I don’t see how switching to on-device storage would be anything but a downgrade.

up to OP. i read it as “i wanted to go all in on Jellyfin, but it’s been a PITA. what else would you suggest?”

Yes… Which is OP is already using a streaming solution, clearly that’s the direction.
