If you’re willing to pay for proprietary software, I’ve been incredibly happy with Roon for music organization. Handles 99% of albums I add without an issue, great multi-room support, best suggestions of any existing service (Rest in peace Google Play Music). They added remote streaming a few years ago and it’s all I use now.

Note that it is a $12.49 subscription, or $829.99 one-time. So you really need to love its featureset.

That's some serious price. If you're a professional music maker and need top-of-the-line audio production software, Ableton 12 Suite is ~600 EUR, and that's for making music, not consuming.

I have friends that use Roon and say it's great, and has some nice features for room-based EQ, however I want to spend £0/mo standing cost (all extra goes to bandcamp).

They do not have a Linux player so the price tag is a bit hefty compared to Plex or the free options...

You can control the playback via a phone if you need to play music through a Linux system though.

Music playback via a PC isn’t really what Roon seems to be going for though, so much as allowing you to control music playback through proper audio systems via a PC or other device.
