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 use plexamp too with a large library so I can comment on the android side (I didn't know some of these differences existed)

  • the app has settings for audio quality dependent on connection type, including not converting hires audio
  • as far as I can tell the EQ in plexamp is global across devices, though it has presets for specific devices -same on Android I don't think you can manually listen to downloaded songs outside of the app

I'll also comment that I sort all my music by folder and Plex does ok with this Not great, but it works
