Hi Selfhosted,

I am looking for the best solution to replace spotify for at home and out of the house music.

I already have a large music library and run moOde for multiroom audio and use spotify connect to cast to it.

Is my best option to set up an MPD server and wireguard vpn to use it on the go? Are there other options? What would you recommend?

I hate plex's interface for music.

My holy grail is winamps 3 pane + dynamic playlist or if you're into foobar2000, the facets view.

I also hate how plex wants you to store your music. Not all music can be fit into the artist/album directory structure, like wtf do I do with most of my record rips. They are part of releases, not albums you dumb dumbs.
