I have experimented with FinAmp, Jellyfin, Plexamp, and Symformium.

I really hate to say it, but Plexamp is the best out of all of them. The thing is, I wanted to ditch Plex because I do not like them anymore.

Can anyone recommend me a good free app for Android that can stream my music collection?

What features are you missing in Finamp? I would say it's pretty freaking good. Although I don't have any experience with Plex and its clients.

I was going to say that Finamp doesn't support offline filtering by artists, but when looking for the open issue I just found out the beta does support this! Awesome!

Not OP, but when I was looking for an alternative it was the music analysis and Auto-Playlist/DJ features that set Plexamp apart.

I see, this sounds very good indeed!

I agree, the DJ and playlist features are pretty great. Definitely what I missed when trying Finamp. If anyone has another suggestion that does similar I'm game to try. Just to try and start to divest from Plex.

I like Finamp, but one thing that comes to mind is if I try to reorder the tracks on the queue, it doesn't work as expected. It moves different tracks instead, it's very buggy.
