Comment on Replace Spotify

I think you’re on the right track with Wireguard.
I’m also running Jellyfin, but mostly Navidrome for music. I’ve been pretty satisfied with the latter.
Consuming music outside the house has been a significant issue. I mostly tried to go the offline route: download some music to play while you’re out of the house … and on Android the experience has been overall very poor. My least worst experience was with Substreamer as a client, but still not anywhere near good.
Where I’m at today is with always-on VPN through Wireguard and the experience is significantly better than any other solution I’ve tried before.
It’s been years I haven’t played with mpd, so I can’t comment on that.
+1 for navidrome.
I’m also using that and have it exposed to the web using a cloudflare tunnel. What I didn’t like in the beginning but really appreciate now is that the service itself doesn’t have a lot of permissions and cannot delete files or change their metadata. I’m hosting it in a docker container and everything except the config file is mounted read-only.
I’m not sure how relevant that is but it gives me more peace of mind exposing it publicly.
Thay sounds potentially better than having to vpn in to use it.
How are you liking navidrome?
Performance is good and streaming works well. Not a fan of the webinterface personally but there are client programs available for all platforms since navidrome exposes the subsonic api.
Personally I use sonix on windows and linux as well as symfonium (paid but really great app) on android.
The only thing I am missing from it is better user management so that I can restrict specific users from accessing parts of my library.
Thank you for the info. Sounds like I’ve got a fair bit to look in to. 👍
Navidrome replaced Spotify for me, with Symfonium on Android, I’m never going back. On PC you can use any Subsonic client, and there are plenty I threw Tailscale on top to access it when I go out.
Also use Navidrome, hosted as a docker container on Synology NAS with reverse proxy for streaming outside the house. Have found the Symfonium app (paid) to be a great replacement for Spotify.
Seconding Synphonium, it’s surprisingly good and gets updates very regularly.
Navidrome sounds interesting, I haven’t heard over of it before.
Wouodbyou recmkend it over jellyfin?
It is also very resource efficient. I am running it on a Raspberry Pi 2 and it works flawlessly.

Navidrome with Substreamer on mobile for auto-generated recommendations based on already played music works great for me.
