An Android phone used as a small music server
An Android phone now runs mStream through Termux, making a personal music library available from different devices. The music is 512GB and stored on an SD card. It can be reached from a TV or any computer.
Unlike , this setup lets the TV browse the music library, choose tracks, and control playback directly. The phone stays on, uses little power, and is usually carried around, so it works like a small personal server.
