I'm going to go another route here: do you need streaming?
Like, I've simply gone with a giant pile of FLACs that I put on a SD card for my phone, and use over the NAS for when I'm at home and don't currently use any fancy-pants streaming stuff.
So like, depending on how you're using your music library, you might not even need to drop deep into the giant self-hosting rabbithole for this.
Based on OPs experience this is the best solution.
If they want to learn, I found plex + plexamp was pretty easy to get going.
¿???? it's not like you're going to be able to autism at a -0.0002dB disparity on the trumpets channel with those audio chips, why not just store the files there as opus or MP3 for ~6x more capacity? (not to mention faster overall reads)
Are you retarded or deaf?
Because I stuck a 1TB sd card in my phone and don't have to deal with transcoding or dealing with, well, anything, but copying new files over and listening to things.
I've developed quite the liking for stupidly simple solutions, and 'copy the files to a sd card' is about as simple as it gets.
OPUS is such a delightful format I transcoded my FLACs just for fun.
Pretty soon you won't be able to buy a phone without expandable storage. On the plus side, internal storage is going up, but it's still not big enough to hold a complete FLAC collection if it's a reasonably large library. You can re-encode your library just for phone usage, but that's a bit annoying to maintain.
Also, I've found all of the offline music players on Android kind of suck, and don't support the workflow I like or have bugs.
