Tidal-Media-Downloader VS selfhosted-music-overview

there's also https://github.com/yaronzz/Tidal-Media-Downloader which downloads directly from TiDAL and not from YouTube, which allows downloading quality FLAC files instead of mp3 @ 128 or 256 Kbps.

There's Tidal-Media-Downloader.

You can acquire content from TIDAL using TIDAL Media Downloader. It is useful in figuring out what quality/codec any playlist/album/track is in (e.g. for Dolby Atmos).

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!
