I am having a go with Jellyfin... Set up a server on the Raspberry Pi with Docker and installed the app on Android. Seems like I can "download" files to the device. Looks promising so far.

@magnetichuman I tried it, but struggled to download media files to it. How do you do it?

@plwt once you have your Android app connected to your server you can "download" an album or track to the Android device by pressing the 3 dots next to it. However, there does not seem to be an obvious way to use this file for playback in the Jellyfin app so it doesn't really do what I wanted.

@plwt Aha! The Android app Finamp does local download from Jellyfin! I will try this one and see how it goes.

@magnetichuman Putting aside playing music through a mobile app - how did you get the media into Jellyfin in the first place?

@plwt My music was already on a HDD connected to my Raspberry Pi (also where I'm running Jellyfin). I'm running it through Docker so I made sure that my music folder was set to mount as a volume in the jellyfin docker compose file. Then when I ran Jellyfin I was able to create a library linked to this folder.
