Re: "Listening to Music From My Tiny Server"
i run ympd on the pi, it has a web based interface i can use to access from anywhere on the network. it does what it needs to do, i don't need too much from my mpd client these days.

@lamb-duh that looks nice. I see it's available on arch also on AUR. will give it a try.
PS: on my android phone I use Jellyfin if I want to play my music from home. I access my home network with Wireguard
i keep a copy of my music library on my phone and play it with vlc or fb2k (when i want to listen to music on my phone rather than controlling the stereo). i converted all the lossless to low-bitrate opus and kept the lossy stuff as is. it really surprised me how good opus sounds at bitrates i would never go near with mp3. my phone usually doesn't have internet access though, so streaming's no good for me.

I keep a few songs on my phone as well for those situations when I'm somewhere without a good signal. But for most situations I listen via Wireguard with Jellyfin

Listening to Music From My Tiny Server — My music doesn't live on my daily laptop. It lives on a tiny Ubuntu Server machine in another room. My Arch laptop just mounts it and plays. Simple. See how I do it on [gemini link]
