Full disclosure, I'm pretty new to selfhosting myself, and I haven't written a guide like this before, but hopefully this scatterbrained writeup is enough for someone out there lmao

This is just what works for me and how I set it up. Always open to ideas for improvement as well.

Spotify has a feature where if it is playing on another device, you can control it with any other device logged into the account, is there any good way to replicate this with a linux desktop and an android phone?

If your use case is only desktop and phone, KDE Connect can do it independently from your music service. Works in both directions as well.

interesting, thank you.

That's something I've struggled to find so far unfortunately. Maybe something exists but I haven't found an answer yet.

It really is spotify's killer feature for me, probably won't switch to something that doesn't have it.

That whole Spotify Connect feature and Sonos support is what keeps me in the ecosystem, unfortunately...

Jellyfin has a remote control feature that lets you do something like this, I use it quite a lot for music.

Maybe Navidrome's jukebox mode, although I suspect it's a slightly different idea (and it was a bit buggy last time I tried it).
