I rediscovered the joy of my own music collection by quitting Spotify and switching to self-hosted Navidrome.

    Android or iOS?

    On android I found symphonium to be a great app to use with my navidrome server. On iOS, play:sub was the best experience I found

      Symfonium is great, and in its current state, probably the best Subsonic client for android. (Tempus is good enough for me though.) But best of luck if you ever have a nontrivial issue and ask the dev for help. That’s one abrasive mf. (Just take a look here. It’s hard to find anyone so full of themselves.)

      That said, if it works for your needs, it’s a great app. I won’t judge anyone for using it, but I’m someone who can’t and won’t separate the art from its artist. If that applies to you, you’ve been warned.

      I’ll check out ply:sub. Thank you for the recommendation.

          I found it, however… it’s $5, which I don’t mind paying for software, then it says ‘in app purchases’. So my question is what are the ‘in app purchases’ after I lay down my $5? It does seem to have a lot of bells and whistles others don’t have.

            The “in-app purchase” is a donation page where you can donate extra to the developer if you want to. It’s 100% voluntary and doesn’t unlock any extra or additional features. I’ve never donated anything beyond the $5 purchase price.

        yeah for iOS ply:sub is the way to go. my friends and family who use my Navidrome server and have iphones all use ply:sub. Android friends use Symfonium.

        Nope. You can buy an infinite trial via the developers ko-fi!

        There’s info about it on the symfonium forum.

          I’ll rephrase lol it’s per device, so any issue or reflash means you have to contact?

            Yeah, you will have to send the dev the new trial ID for a re-activation.

            That’s also why it’s costs more, because it’s more manual work for him.

            It’s a chore, but really cool by the dev to offer it as an option for people with de-googled devices.

              Thanks! I agree that its cool of him to offer that, just a bit painful on all sides 🙂

      Arpeggi on iOS is the best I’ve found. Available via TestFlight invite only. I plan to switch to Android in the next year, so I’m always interested to hear what clients people like over there too.
