If you’re willing to pay for proprietary software, I’ve been incredibly happy with Roon for music organization. Handles 99% of albums I add without an issue, great multi-room support, best suggestions of any existing service (Rest in peace Google Play Music).

Note that it is a $12.49 subscription, or $829.99 one-time. So you really need to love its featureset.

I currently host icecast/ices. Does your above options allow multiple clients to listen to same stream. I see it mention jukebox mode.

I'd love to find something that works effectively at randomly streaming my music video collection, esp out as an rtsp stream. Kodi's music video support has a tendency to choke and has some weird deficiencies in how it handles them, such as audio leveling.
