I’m still using MPD+ncmpcpp. For remote access, I use Wireguard and stream via HTTP on VLC. It’s amazingly fast and lightweight (26MB RAM for 30K+ songs).
MALP also works on Android, might be better with no physical keyboard (now supports streaming also).
Sounds to me that it would have been easier to create a web-based client for an existing messaging system with such features (like Briar).
