Recommendations for music-setup? (sopuli.xyz)

Hey guys, so I have been searching for the different ways to self-host a music-server and don't really know whats the best/most elegant way to go.

I know that there is navidrome and many also use jellyfin for it. Now I have a few questions:

Are there any good apps for android for navidrome/jellyfin respectively?
how easy can I add songs to them/do they pull metadata from somewhere (like jellyfin does for movies)
how do they (or any other options) compare in terms of ease of setup/maintainability?
do you have any overall recommendations?

Thanks a lot for any tips/recommendations and your help :D

I've tried using collections in Jellyfin to mimic my folders, but it's not great. Collections are very slow when you get a lot of content in them, plus they only take albums, not songs. Took a weekend to script the stuff in using the API, but wasn't worth it.

I'll try navidrome soon.

I see, thank you, I've always just used my tree structure as my playlist, as I typically listen to whole albums at once, so I've used simple audio players like 1by1 on Windows or Deadbeef on Linux where I can just browse my file system and play music. It seems most things nowadays use playlists

same, tree structure is how I listen and find stuff, ever since my winamp days
