  • What's your music setup on mobile? 🎵

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.

    tuxsudo Jellyfin with Symfonium is amazing

    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.

          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.

                  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

                  Spotify 😳

                  I see it mentioned once above, so I'll second Musicolet as an app to play local music. Didn't even ask for the Network permission on install and lots of sorting/filtering options for local music collection.

                  Ah, thanks. I ended up using a burner google account and privacy.com card. Have since uninstalled Play Services and the app still works great. Really loving it.
