I just use Plex hosted on a Raspberry Pi, and Plex Amp. I download mp3s from Bandcamp/wherever, and use beets [0] to auto-tag.

EDIT: FWIW, I don't recommend most people host their own music. Spotify/YouTube music is easy to use and has most music people want to listen to. I only self-host because I'm the type of person who has built a collection of mp3s since 2005, and the few times I tried switching to Spotify, I would commonly not be able to find specific things I wanted to listen to.

I self-host digital media (and have physical copies of the very best stuff) because I want to be able to access the things I like even if there's some legal bullshit about the content.

And when it's on my NAS and backed up, I can be pretty sure that I can still access it in 10 or 20 years.
