Looking to access the music from an Android app.

Currently I'm using Jellyfin (since I already use it for other stuff), but it isn't ideal. No option to download entire albums easily, and if the server is offline then I can't even use the music downloaded to my phone.

I use Roon ARC to self-host my library. It is paid, but, I bought the lifetime subscription because there is really no other music app that has the features Roon has.

Other than that, I have HiBy R3 Pro that is useless for Bluetooth, and when I'm hiking I want Bluetooth.

This. I just returned to Roon after a years hiatus when I saw that this feature (streaming outside the home) had been added. And the just added "MUSE" to the streaming as well. The sales pitch for MUSE is: MUSE is the new name for Roon’s sound engine and audio processing suite. And now MUSE has landed in ARC – with bold styling and sound quality never before seen or heard in a mobile music app!

Yeah, I saw that. Equalizers are nice for some people but I literally never use them.

Wtf, lifetime subscription is $830! That's a big gamble on the company not going bust in a year or two.

Yeah, it wasn't always. I got it when it was cheaper.
