Hi Selfhosted,

I am looking for the best solution to replace spotify for at home and out of the house music.

I already have a large music library and run moOde for multiroom audio and use spotify connect to cast to it.

Is my best option to set up an MPD server and wireguard vpn to use it on the go? Are there other options? What would you recommend?

    I might actually swap to that from Navidrome. Dealing with Metadata has been such a pain and it rarely works properly lol

      Try out beets if you ever want to fix it. It’s a pain to setup the first time (make backups for sure) but once you do, it’s easy to maintain.

      Yeah. Navidrome fucks up your experience. If your id tags are not 100℅ that is.

      Folder based music server is the way to go.

      Gonic is really too bareboned and really is for low power devices. The better alternative would be Polaris which has a better web interface.

      If you have modern hardware (celeron +), Airsonic is the best IMO.
