subtracks VS selfhosted-music-overview

Why to reinvent the wheel when we already have subsonic api compatible android apps such as subtracks already available?

I've started recently to use Navidrome and I'm loving it. To listen to the music on Android I'm using an app called Subtracks, which probably has less features that other more developed apps but it looks gorgeous compared to the rest I've seen and its author is doing a major rewrite of the codebase, so should be getting better.

Some bugs have been there for years now like disappearing songs in offline mode. Sometimes I'm not able to play an entire playlist while offline. Spotify is not a reliable option for me. As soon as subtracks supports offline playlists (it's currently WIP), I will switch.

Just discovered, very much in development but looks promising: https://github.com/austinried/subtracks

I use both. In the web browser, I prefer Navidrome because it's more lightweight. For native mobile client, I use Gelli with Jellyfin and Subtracks with Navidrome. However, I prefer Gelli to Subtracks for its UI and features.

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.
