I use AssetUPnP to serve music off my NAS (my collection is largely classical and has may more relevant tags than most UPnP servers handle). I have a Naim amp that understands UPnP, or BubbleUPnP on my phone.

#9I bought into Google Pay back when they had the intro price of $7.99 a month and have kept it ever since. I don't really listen to Google Play, but every now and then I do. The primary reason why I keep it is so I don't have to watch the ads. For me, the cost of $7.99 is well worth not having to listen to the ads. I know not everyone would feel the same.

Airsonic (like Subsonic before it) lets me have the best of both worlds by automatically transcoding my FLAC library to VBR MP3 on the fly when I stream music to my phone over LTE. It's a Java webapp (.war), and the standalone exe version just bundles (iirc) Jetty. I run it in Tomcat9 just as well.
My client recommendations are play:Sub on iOS and DSub on Android: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/play-sub-music-streamer/id9553... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=github.daneren...
