I was looking at my choices for streaming my music collection to my phone or just in general and thought I'd see what everyone is using or get suggestions? Bonus points if it let's you share songs.

I just went through this and tried quite a few Navidrome clients before settling on Plexamp.

I wanted to like Navidrome because it’s more forgiving with your tagging/organization, particularly with compilations. It reads the compilations ID3 tag and puts all tracks with the same album title and that tag in one album, which is super simple.

Plex is far more picky with tagging/structure. But the clients for Plexamp are just so much better, imo.

So I just eventually sucked it up and spent days retagging my MP3 collection and moving files around to make it work with Plex. It sucked but it was worth it.
