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
