I am at my wits end with this and kindly ask for assistance.
I cannot for the life of me decide on how to set up my music library for the foreseeable future:
And now I’m kinda lost, unsure what the best way to handle this is. I’d like to keep MediaMonkey in the flow for library and playlist management, and streaming is pretty cool for those times where I’m listening on other devices. However, having the music on my NAS just seems to create an extra middleman. What’s most important to me is a smooth mobile experience, with a good UI and no interruptions, as that is where I listen to music 95% of the time.
How do you do it ? Any suggestions for how to future proof my setup without too much of a hassle (still kinda new to all this stuff)? For reference I don’t have a huge music library, maybe a few dozen GB, so it still fits easily on my phone.
Sorry if this was too long or doesn’t fit the subreddit, but I hope someone can enlighten me.

I meant streaming shows with Jellyfin works fine, so I don’t see why streaming music shouldn’t work at least as well. I don’t like using streaming clients such as Plex or Jellyfin for music, they just feel quite unpolished.
Plex has the PlexAmp
Symfonium works with Jellyfin. ;)
I thought its Finamp that works with Jellyfin. Is that just alternative of Symfonium?
I don’t stream music often, but never had issues with Finamp
Symfonium works with most everything. It’s the most full featured by far too.
Its proprietary though, right?
I haven’t seen what license it’s under, but it’s not free though so I assume it’s closed source as well.
