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:
it’s good to stop for second and consider what one’s needs actually are.
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.

I do use a media server but I could probably get away with just syncthing to sync my computer and phone, it would probably be easier even. Of course, if you have more than 2tband you want it all at your fingertips then a media server is probably the right call.
