let's say you have an organized collection of music on your home computer, laptop, NAS, whatever. An easy way to stream that is with a subsonic server. I prefer Navidrome, but there are lots to choose from.
To get that on to your Android you can use an app called DSub. This app can stream, but more importantly playback from cache. You can flag which songs or albums you want to cache on your Android. You can permanently cache as well.
That works well. But if you want to step it up a notch, you can point Poweramp to the cache folder that DSub uses and use Poweramp for playback.
The benefit of this setup is getting music on to your device is trivial once you have these apps configured. No more shuffling files around. Just open DSub, select which new albums you want, and they will appear on your device.
