Anyone have opinions on the best audio/music library players for Linux? My folks are finally setting up a server at their house and something that doesn’t require endless fiddling would be nice. Playback control of the sound system by phones and other devices on the network would be a major plus.
@Linux_in_a_Bit Yes, just an old laptop.

Resonance is a good desktop option: https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.nate_xyz.Resonance
OSMC is a great option for a dedicated smart-tv like UI (still usable with a mouse): https://osmc.tv/
It's based on Kodi but has a bit nicer UI, though you'll probably want to customize it so it only shows the music options.

Gnome music is also a good option for a GUI: https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.Music
If you want to stream music to other devices you can use Jellyfin, though it's a bit hard to set up.
OSMC supports network remote control because it is based on Kodi, but again, it's something you have to to set up (but it is easier to set up than Jellyfin).
@daniel
Does it have a display?
