RetroMusicPlayer VS selfhosted-music-overview

Music Player → Retro

Metro puts nothing new or useful to the table and steals attention from the real project which is in need of maintainers right now. What did Metro do when Retro was discontinued/abandoned? Exactly, nothing.

RetroMusicPlayer or ViMusic if you want to listen to music from YouTube Music

Retro MusicPlayer

RetroMusic that has Material You, and very stylish, I really enjoyed. Unfortunately it seems doesn't support .wav tag editor because of the custom codec(according to the issue#557, or is it just a bug?)

Retro is discontinued, whereas metro is fork of retro with all pro features of retro for free and actively maintained (though updates are slow)

For the client I'm looking at symfonium as it looks like it has android auto support going off of this github list.

Here's a good overview of the feature sets of most of the popular ones: https://github.com/basings/selfhosted-music-overview

The most liked client is symfonium which works with several different server implementations. It appears that its dev also tries to bundle the subsonic power to improve the subsonic implementation and tries to prevent a sea of subsonic forks. I did not research about music servers in a while but I'll check it out and add it to https://github.com/basings/selfhosted-music-overview . Thank you guys for your experience and insights! It's really helpful to see what the people love and hate about their setups.

You can check https://github.com/basings/selfhosted-music-overview to have an idea of the features you can implement. There is also a lot to be done to properly handle multi value tags, artist relationships, etc. Good luck!
