No need to use the server, Navidrome allows any client to connect remotely (WAN included) and play music that is hosted on the server. It also can be set up to transcode on the fly uncompressed music when it is accessed from a metered connection to minimize bandwidth usage. I barely scratched its surface, but it looks promising.

He has the game on lock since his debut (almost 20 years). He is 45 years old and still has 50 million monthly listeners (more than K dot and J cole) and can still sell 300k+ copies first week (more than any rapper sans Drake). He is always talked about. According to acclaimedmusic.net he's the 13th most acclaimed musician in history. He has sold over a 100 million copies, and broke the mold with albums like... Source: almost 2 years ago
