Plex Alternative (lemmy.tf)

I have all my mp3s on my NAS. Over the years, I've been rating the tracks, standardizing the id3 tags, etc. I love my music collection. But the era of the single device experience is over and as such I need a little more. Up until now, I've been copying tracks over to my phone every time I need new portable music.

At one point I was using Clementine Music Player on my laptop and using Clementine Remote on my phone. But Clementine died and hasn't received an update in years.

I tried Plex but holy fuck, it made a mess of my collection. I couldn't search for tracks by rating and I couldn't do searches like "(genre: hip-hop OR genre: rap) AND rating>4)" which made it double useless for me.

So I guess my question is, is what can I point at my NAS music directories, which can allow me to stream music from my server when I'm in the house, will allow me to filter by ratings and anything else I like, fucks off the money grab which is the artists (plural) id3 tag, will allow me to update ratings from my phone or laptop and will allow me to copy to my local device for when I'm ready to leave out?

Love seeing other Clementine users in the wild. Basically I was loving Clementine, but Android broke the remote and so that basically ruined it for me.

As for Jellyfin, like Navidrome, I can't get in installed on my NAS.
