I really want to do this, but I have yet to find a self-hosted app that has the features from iTunes that I love: smart playlists (with an easy to edit interface), play stats (last played, last skipped, play count, skip count), and editable metadata (can change genres of the a song or several songs within the app).
Easily editable smart playlists would be table stakes for me. I can get by without the rest, though I'd be less happy than with iTunes.
(Please somebody prove me wrong so I can go back to self hosting my music library)
Plex has almost all of that.
It's only missing last skipped and skip count and you'll need to use the desktop/web app for editing of metadata.
