My setup so far:

  • RunTipi as a general server setup on a cheap mini-pc running Linux (any stable distro will do). It has an easy interface to install a music hosting app - in my case it's Navidrome. You can use an older PC for it with no problems, but be aware that it might be inefficient in terms of power consumption. Some newer cheap mini pcs with Intel N100 processor are more efficient and consume little power. You can get them for under 200 USD/EUR even.
  • I use MusicBrainz Picard to tag and organize the music files. All music files I previously converted to Opus format, which is very efficient in terms of size.
  • To stream music away from home I use Tailscale, which essentially creates a virtual private network between your devices. Then you can access the tailscale IP address of your music server from your phone through a music app that supports Subsonic (another music hosting software, Navidrome is compatible with it) - apps like Substreamer/Subtracks/Symfonium/etc.

Recognize

I am not familiar with these, but it seems it's automated tagging? Then it depends how it writes the tags and the separators. Try viewing the tags in Musicbrainz or some other manual tagging software to check.

Navidrome should recognize both album-artists and artists. In my phone app (Symfonium) I see them separately and I can browse by individual artists or by album-artists.

I don't understand why no phone company has considered making at least something similar as default. A vertical list of apps is way more intuitive than a mess of dozens of apps with too many colors. Now if switch to a new phone, I even have to check if it supports gestures for third-party launchers. Another a-hole feature of some brands (specifically Xiaomi). Using Niagara with the bottom navigation buttons makes no sense.
