I am running plex for movies and it works ok. I don't like how it creates thousands of xml files though. This would be a lot worse if I put my music library on it as well. So is there any open source music server that doesn't create loads of tiny files? In one dbms is what I am looking for.

as an example, my plex directory has 344,000 files. my Win 10 1909 folder has 183K files.

is this just for your home?

You could could always setup a shoutcast server and stream to the internet and listen to it using winamp or an app on android.
