Koel Music Server (https://github.com/koel/koel) Opensource music server, nice GUI and allows high fidelity streaming of all your music files

Plexamp alternatives
You could take a look at koel. I don’t see it suggested that often. The iOS app is open source, but cost $9.99 on the App Store (one time purchase, not a subscription).

What's yout preferred selfhosted music streaming suite?
Koel. It's simple, it works out of the box, is ready to use despite low effort setup.
-
Guys, recommend some good piracy apps that we should have
Koel - stream your music collection. A little tough to setup and the android app is a little buggy, but the best interface I've seen for such an app (lmk if you know pretty alternatives).

Just cancelled Spotify. I have a Raspberry Pi 2, 3 & 4. Would like to be able to stream my music to my Android device.
while Jellyfin is great for video, i have found its music streaming to be lacking... i prefer to use Koel ( https://github.com/koel/koel ) it only supports a single library of music, but it does pretty much exactly what i want it to; and it has a native (at least android, not sure about ios) mobile client, all open source. its great.

How do you make sure to get all prerequisites for Koel?
I would like to install koel on a Digital Ocean droplet. However, I have not found their instructions to be very helpful regarding the installation of prerequisites. One article gave some suggestions, but they were out of date or otherwise incompatible.

Program for sorting DOWNLOADED movies/games?
I used to use Plex until I found Emby. I find Emby easier to use and it does the same thing. Just putting this here as a fourth option for OP. :)

Ask HN: What is your streaming setup like?
I use https://emby.media along with private trackers and Usenet.

Just checking: Plex is still the best option right?
You can find it here! I have both installed, but I generally keep EMBY turned off until I want to play around with it. You can have both running at once and both accessing the same folders. You can check it out for free.

Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirates life for me!! Recent streaming services, prices and shows getting butchered, finally decided its time. Here's how a basic self-hosted 'Netflix' would look like. Fully automated once its setup. Using only a makeshift homelab server from second hand parts.
Emby: Offers premium features with some behind a membership.

media server, bring old days and share with friends
I went with Emby, personally. Plex, Jellyfin, etc are all good choices too! :)

Jellyfin (open source Plex) moves from Reddit to its own traditional-style MyBB forum
For clarity: Emby is still mostly open source (the source code is right here: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby). Emby started incorporating closed source plugins that you only get with the paid version of Emby in order to try and get revenue.
