YES. I have turned my #RaspberryPi into the most wonderful media/music server. It's basically my own little super charged and non-capitalistic Spotify.

Here's how it works.

Playing music: It runs #Jellyfin (in a docker container). This is so amazing – it even has a phone app (this is how I listen mostly).

Adding more music:
The Pi has an external drive connected to it (mount at boot) with all my music, shared as a samba server on our home network, this makes it easy to manage the files.

very nice!

Two years ago I did a kodi install with a touchscreen and attached it to a tower that houses my sub, and it's a home music centre that everyone in the house loves. Media players are a great pi project and really reliable — I haven't had a single issue.
