I have carefully curated my music collection for a few decades now. I am very specific in how I listen to music. I listen to full albums and want them to be gapless. I get really frustrated at the smallest glitch, hiccup, or buffer.
All my music is on my NAS and backed up. I use jellyfin + finamp (+ wireguard when not at home) to stream to my phone.
I have a dedicated mp3 player (fiio) that I also load part of my collection on for true offline and higher fidelity listening.
I can stream through jellyfin to my stereo.
I also have built a raspberry pi with an RFID reader. I have printed album covers onto rfid cards and have stacks of them you can flip through. If you place them them on my stereo, that album starts playing (it uses mpd to stream from my NAS). This was a fun project to turn my digital collection back into something physical and is a lot of fun when friends come over.
