I currently use Jellyfin with the Gelli App from F-Droid. It does support downloading complete Albums to the cache but you can't navigate your music library while offline so this doesn't seem to be very useful (only to save data if you have a metered connection)
I used to use gonic with Ultrasonic as a client app but as I have Jellyfin for video files anyways I don't host this anymore. This setup did support offline playback though and is pretty lightweight so it might be worth a look for you.
I hadn't found any good options, so mainly use Spotify + Plex when I can't find what I need on Spotify. Will check out some of the options mentioned in here though.
Hosting Navidrome and use Symphonium to stream on-the-go. Have Navidrome on a domain via reverse proxy.
Considering limiting any risk in the future and just using something like tailscale/wireguard to just connect to the sever on-the-go, but we'll see.
I use Jellyfin and Finamp. When it works it's great, but it seems to always crap out after half an hour or so of streaming.
