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?
Plex w/ plexamp Jellyfin w/finamp
Thats what I would go with but theres tons of options here as well

I think you’re on the right track with Wireguard.
I’m also running Jellyfin, but mostly Navidrome for music. I’ve been pretty satisfied with the latter.
Consuming music outside the house has been a significant issue. I mostly tried to go the offline route: download some music to play while you’re out of the house … and on Android the experience has been overall very poor. My least worst experience was with Substreamer as a client, but still not anywhere near good.
Where I’m at today is with always-on VPN through Wireguard and the experience is significantly better than any other solution I’ve tried before.
It’s been years I haven’t played with
mpd, so I can’t comment on that.Navidrome with Substreamer on mobile for auto-generated recommendations based on already played music works great for me.
