Blåhaj Lemmy - Choose Your Interface

i just want one i can use to sync to my phone, keep my playlists updated, and listen to music. syncing to my phone wirelessly is a big plus, but i am old enough to have two boxes of cables.
You can jist use Syncthing for syncing.

But then you need a player on each platform, that works with m3u files

Which is very few, and buggy.

I use “Anrimians Simple Music Player” and Gapless/G4music, but songs are randomly disappearing from playlists. Also you need to usw default directories for the files.
