Looking to access the music from an Android app.

Currently I'm using Jellyfin (since I already use it for other stuff), but it isn't ideal. No option to download entire albums easily, and if the server is offline then I can't even use the music downloaded to my phone.

I tried jellyfin with finamp, tried synology's solution, plex, kodi. However, maitaining the library is just an endless hassle with correcting tags and pictures, genres. Tried many tools to fix it but went actually away from this a couple of years back. Now it is Internet Radio Stations in my sonos automated with motion sensors via homeassistant with volume and station depending on the time of the day and day of the week

This is pretty much why I never attempted to use something like Jellyfin for the music I, um, accumulated through the years. I use Spotify and Youtube these days.

I just don't bother with all the categorizing and tagging. I just dump the files in a per album folder and that's enough for me to find what I need.
