I host a Navidrome music server at home. I can access my personal music collection from anywhere in the world, privately and self-sovereignly and I don't have to decide what music to take with me anymore.

I'm very nostalgic for the iPod days but it's just a bygone era. Us music-lovers and audiophiles have upgraded our game.

I also do, with the substreamer app organizing my music with beets[2]. And it's great, especially with smart playlists[1] concept shamelessly stolen from iTunes (I mean this in a good way).

But for audio books, I did not find an app, that is free, does not crash and supports earphone remote like iPods do (I tested audiobookshelf, smart audiobook player and many many others) :-)

For going to bed or taking a walk I still love my distraction free, remote controllable iPod Nano 7.
