There are two main ways you can do it. You’ve already mentioned you have your library/music files, so that’s a good start, you’re basically looking for a way to access it on other devices. The first way would be to set up an old PC/rent a cloud server, and set up the service you want to use, though for now this may be a bit too complex if all you want to do is stream your own music, and have no experience. That being said, it’s always good to have a look and see, there may be a tutorial that works for you if you want to go down this route.

You’ve mentioned Navidrome, and it’s a good shout, basically just looks at the folders of music you have, and lets you stream them to your phone/PC (and more) like Spotify or Google Music. For the simplest possible setup, I’d recommend a service like Pikapods (https://pikapods.com), which essentially selfhosts applications for you, and gives you access to the files. For Navidrome, for 50GB storage (and the recommended settings of 1 CPU core and 0.5GB RAM), it’s $3.01 a month, which, though not free, is very affordable if that’s all you want to do, plus they handle updates, etc. You shouldn’t need to set any variables, and can upload your music to their service via FTP (File Transfer Protocol, a way to copy files to another PC/server from your PC), and they have docs on how to do that on the site.

Hope this helps :P

No categories, only available navigation option is “Random”, let chaos commence

Can confirm, kicked several objects and people while in VR, still unsure how many were real

As the appointed speaker for the potatoes, I agree.

My friends use Element since it has become a lot less buggy in my experience in the last few months, and is feature rich. Given the apparent requirements (calls, location sharing, etc), I don’t know if there are any other android clients that offer everything you’re looking for. If it’s been a bit since you’ve used Element, I would try it again. Could even have unencrypted (group chat) rooms depending on security requirements since all accounts will be on your instance to avoid encryption issues.

The headline makes it seem like everyone’s been holding off until it was under 5 figures to get.

“Why can’t we get one?”

Just wait, the price is falling, Timmy

I am completely fine with the Rhythm Heaven Megamix (well, Heaven Studio) representation here.
