I use Funkwhale [1] internally. It is such a beautiful designed interface and it makes listening to my music fun again. Funkwhale also honors a carefully curated music collection (I use MusicBrainz); my MP3s are mounted read-only; I can share my Music with family-members; it is Album-focused, which is more in line with my listening habits (I don't want a random stream of different artists, I like to listen to a single album, the way artists arranged their tracks etc.); although, I do use playlists sometimes.
My family members have an "MP3" folder in Nextcloud and when they add music, Funkwhale is set up to automatically scan their bind-mounts for change and add music.
Currently, the library has about 16000 MP3s (mostly bought, some ccby, some music from games I bought, some digitized audio-cds - I try to by MP3 from bandcamp, if available

).
For multi-room-audio, I use Iris+Mopidy+Snapcast [2] as an alternative frontend to my Funkwhale library, via API.
