What server to use for MP3 files
reddit / selfhosted

Hi!
I have a Raspberry Pi 4 with 2 gb ram, and I want to run a media
server, where my family members can download music in mp3 files, but
still stream them from the server. I just need this solution for my
home network, there is no need for remote access. What I need is the
option to power off the server when we are not using it. My router
doesn't support DLNA.
Thanks for any further help!

Navidrome could work for you

navidrome or plex

Navidrome is the best choice for free. Plex/Plexamp won’t let you
download if you don’t have a subscription (plex pass)

mpd + a client

If all your MP3s have proper ID3 tags, yes... Such a shame that
there's no folder navigation!

Jellyfin would work

Jellyfin + Symfonium is excellent in my experience

You can pay a one time mobile app fee on the device itself I think

Finamp is pretty decent on iOS

Unfortunately, there are no tags, just in a few files (maybe 1 in 100
has it).

Same here, that's why Navidrome is not a viable solution for me.
