For music Airsonic would probably be a better bet, it's a bit more suited to the task of maintaining and providing access to a large database of music. It's compatible with the official Subsonic Android app, which has been solid for years.
Download a free Subsonic API client (like Subsonic) and get it working with your server first. Works with my Ampache install.
I think you might enjoy this: subsonic
Requires a one time purchase, I think I paid $10 for it years ago. Lets you set up your home pc with it's own private server address to stream all your media from. Love it!
Sorry for coming to this thread late, but if you're still looking for music streaming solutions then I personally use Ampache along with Subsonic Client. Whilst Ampache has a fairly dated interface, it supports all the features I'd need, and thanks to the various backends (DAAP, Subsonic, UPnP, WebDAV), I'm able to find decent clients for the platforms I use.

But you can try the server, see how it works and if you like it. Basically Booksonic is based in subsonic so anything compatible with subsonic works with Booksonic too. The thing is sub is more focused in music and Booksonic developer made it more focused on audiobooks.
maybe something like Subsonic? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.subsonic.androidapp
Backup for when it gets deleted:
>I've been married for 7 years. > >The amount of leg work I do to avoid ..paying for cloud services that cost money and shit on our privacy is impressive and it's still a struggle to get her to use it. > >For Music.. > >* I have a 1TB media server (backedup), meticulously organized. I tag everything properly, and I'd say at least 75% of my stuff is 320kbps or 16 or 24bit FLAC. >* I have a samba share mounted to her desktop for it. >* I run SubSonic on it (the android app could be better) that allows both streaming and wifi syncing of anything on that server to an android phone. It is also web accessible. >* I, if asked, will build playlists for her in Subsonic that she can later sync > >She still opts for Spotify on a friend's family plan - at the expense of our data-plans, mind you. (I'm a huge.. huge music fan, and while I have murky, if not contradictory, opinions on piracy - It's really saddened me to see what silicon valley has done to the music industry. The labels have gotten fatter, the tech companies are booming, and the artists are getting shit upon. Technology has given rise to poptimism, promoted singles culture at the erosion of the album, and has legitmized a "legal" distribution method that didn't replace radio..but replaced ownership. Ownership rights, artist pay, the effect it's had on music culture itself.. I just don't dig Spotify. and i will not support them or Tidal or Apple Music or any of it. Pandora? Ok. It's radio. Download some mp3s and FLACs? Ok. But that's where I draw the line. > >I have 1000CDs, 300 records, 200 tapes, and 1TB of digital files being served off a media server that will sync to mobile. We have Bluetooth speakers, 2 pairs of nice headphones, a Bluetooth and 3.5mm connection to our home stereo receiver. I just don't see why anyone in my house needs spotify. > >My shit is better organized and tagged than fucking Spotify by a metric fuckton, and she still prefer Spotify. And my library is almost as rich as Spotify.. AND you don't have to navigate around censored versions or karaoke versions of songs. > >This is my physical library of (mostly used) books. Yet for some reason, we need a Kindle and to yank e-books down from amazon all the fucking time. But I guess that's not totally comparable. But I could write a word wall long as this entire post as to why i loathe the e-book market. (DRM'd books and having breaking DRM being a hurdle most non-technical people won't bother with, amazon yanking books off customers devices, the fact they're often more expensive than print books, and then a bunch of romantic shit I feel about books). > >Or photos. We're parents. So the amount of photos and vids we've taken in the last 2+ years is more than I've taken in my whole life. ANd with each new phone they're getting bigger and higher quality. > >* I have a 4TB photos server, also backed up. ( i talk about this like it's a seperate server, my photos, music, movies and file syncing is all the same box which has 12TB of storage). >* I have the SyncMe app on both of our Android phones that backs up our photos and vids to the server every night. >* Quarterly, I clear off everything but the last 30 days off our phones, and then organized the synced photos into folders named like so: YYYY.MM - <event/description> >* The photos directory is accessible via SMB on her desktop and her android phone. > >I've "caught" her randomly uploading everything to amazon b/c it, like Facebook does that whole "a year ago today!" bullshit. > >I haven't used social networking since MySpace. I complain constantly about how she, my siblings, and others basically remove my.. and my child's consent in participating on social media as our photos, details of our lives are constantly uploaded into these services all under the guise of being social with people, that without social networking would move on and forget about you like you were some relic from their past. > >I'm not even pushing for FOSS. I just want to increase my privacy. Save some money. Secure my communications. > >She'll at least chat with me on Signal and/or Wire > >I can't get her to use a Password manager. I can't get her to have complicated passwords on our bank accounts. > >I got her to use 2FA, until she needed a new phone one day and that was a "pain the ass" so she turned it off everywhere. > >I'm not going full retard with "uhh.. you need to use only FSF approved OSes". (though my next machine purchase will be from Pur.ism, and I really hope their phone takes off) Just.. don't upload our lives to the web, secure your shit and lets use all this media I've actually paid for rather paying astronomical fees to verizon for unlimited plans so you can use someone else's spotfiy - often to stream shit I've purchased on 2-3 different mediums already. > >And i get looks like i'm unreasonable. You can see the envy in her eyes for all the other women who don't have to put up with this shit. > >I was able to get us to be cordcutters about 5 years ago. Between ripping my massive DVD collection (and having a more massive pirate collection) via Plex (i'm in the process of migrating to Emby), having Netflix, Hulu (ad-free) and Amazon... putting a Roku on every tv in the house was a hard sell but I won her over on that one. > >Everything else is like pulling teeth. > >I've locked down both our credits at all 3 major credit agencies, but I had to be the lead on that - after we have both had our data compromised in at 4 major hacks and at least 3 smaller ones. > >My media server is linux, my laptop (work and home) is. I'll never convert her. I've even converted my 67 year old father. But can't convert my wife.. who, believe it or not, I met in an IRC channel. There's this notion that Linux is a "ghetto" experience. YOu can see the sparkle in her eyes at the chance I might give in and buy her a Macbook one day just to get away from Windows. She sees it in terms of ... consumerism and class. > >I've been a Linux admin for 10 years and really into technolgoy since i was a child. > >I feel, my principles about technology kinda lead me more in a Stallman direction where I'll increasingly just.. go back to doing things they way i did before technology took over, just to get some kind of control back. Physical records, dvds, physical books, actually going to the store. That sort of thing. I try to be more secure, I try to be more open source and I try to detach a bit more. All this being said and done - i'd rather just take my fucking books and records and go get a house in the mountains and spend my nights drinking by a fire. But whatever.
Or just check archives of course.
Thank you for the suggestions ill try out dsub... This post is more to help myself organize my thoughts but there are like 5 apps for *sonic servers. I guess ill just try different ones until i find one i like. My biggest feature i need is that it supports chrome cast.

I use the main Subsonic app for Android, and so far, so good?
There's an official android app but DSub looks to be the better app.
according the google play store
