Hello,
As the title suggests, I'm interested to hear how you listen/stream music on your device? Do you pay for a music subscription and what apps do you use? 👀👀
What's your music setup on mobile? 🎵
I rip all of my CDs to FLAC files. I then use Foobar2000 to listen to the music and stream it through either Noble Mystiques when wireless or Hipdac 2 + Shure 846s and balanced headphone cables.

you don't need anything else.
I use Spotify (paid) but recently discovered you can stream the YouTube Music library for free with apps ViMusic or InnerTune. Either app is better then the native Spotify app which is a heavy slow ugly mess.
Navidrome + Symfonium
Jellyfin with Symfonium is amazing
Musify and Spotify.

Auxio (https://github.com/OxygenCobalt/Auxio/) for local audio files and Tidal for streaming

Agree! I use Symfonium with my Emby server, which I access remotely using Tailscale. The setup works great - no Google service dependencies. I love how I can access all of my playlists remotely. Symfonium will stream full-resolution (eg FLAC), or if you want you can set a bit rate limit while using mobile data.

unseenpolar i use pixel 6a with qobuz with Sony wf1000xm4 or my Sony xb33
I use Poweramp and a local library primarily because I'm SIM off and airplane mode all the time, but just got Finamp working with Jellyfin so have my entire music library when on my home network. Took me a few hours to figure out I needed to go to settings > Network & Internet > VPN and turn off Block connections without VPN, then go into my VPN app settings and add Finamp to the split tunnel list. Might soon try remote access over wifi with Tailscale like rambleon suggested
Rips music to 96K opus and push onto device with rsync (with an ssh daemon running in Termux; sshd
).
#!/bin/bash
# pass IP of device as argument
MUSICDIR=/home/$USER/tmp/ANDROID/MUSIC
find "${MUSICDIR:?}" -type f \( -iname "*.flac" -o -iname '*.mp4' -o -iname "*.alac" -o -iname "*.ape" -o -iname '*.m4a' -o -iname '*.m4b' -o -iname "*.ogg" -o -iname "*.webm" -o -iname "*.wav" -o -iname '*.mp3' \) -exec sh -c 'ffmpeg -y -i "$1" -c:a libopus -b:a 96K "${1%.*}.opus"' sh {} \; && find "${MUSICDIR:?}" -depth -exec perl-rename "s/[\\:*?\"<>|\n]//g" "{}" \; && rsync -avzz --progress -e "ssh -p 8022" "${MUSICDIR:?}"/. "$1":"/sdcard/Music/"
And then play locally. (I've been using Musicolet.)
Just the Spotify app and NewPipe for things that are on SoundCloud and YouTube.
dmzee Spotify lite is a much better version of the Spotify app without all the bloat and less trackers.
rambleon @tuxsudo I am trying out Symphonium, and I am very impressed and love having my local and jellyfin music in the same app, and having it filter to just the local when I don't have wifi. Quick question: How did you buy the app? Do you use a burner google account to pay for the app through the sandboxed play store, or did you contact the dev and get an apk that way, or some other way?
Just NewPipe mainly, sometimes Discord VC.
https://github.com/Sangwan5688/BlackHole
Feature packed music app, support multiple platforms and playlist import from spotify, yt music etc..
Metro (Retro Music with paid features unlocked), and thinking of moving to Auxio in the future for local files
Newpipe for some new music
Apple Music subscription for streaming and high quality downloads
Listen with Apple Wired Earbuds with Apple DAC or Google Buds Pro (not the best for audio but its what I got)
There are some interesting options in this thread
