it depends

on what? what information do you need?

I have a 377 GB music collection on my desktop and I use Steam Music for it. Works for me since I have Steam open all the time.
>move around
Where to?

the best way to listen to music is to have a bunch of expensive devices that send the audio to expensive studio monitors, and making the music yourself to fit your tastes
the best way to move your collection is to have it all in a datacenter so you can download it with a 10gbps fiber connection wherever you go

so what kind of softwere do you suggest to stream my collection? Like some sort of selfhost spotify?

i have all the music saved on my laptop/desktop but i would like to listen to it when i'm outside from home/on the phone

>so what kind of softwere do you suggest to stream my collection?
your browser can stream audio files from a web server

Jellyfin/Plex might work for you. No need to move the files around, just stream them from your own server

it depends a lot what you're trying to do:
the easiest way to have your music is to store it on a computer. If you plan to listen to it from different other computers you should put it on a server. If you want to listen to it there are two options: stream from local files or remote files. With local file, it's great, you never have to worry about having your files or not, but that means you have to get a copy on each computer of your music. The simplest way to do that is using rsync imo. With remote files, you have the other side of the coin, you can get all your files without having to keep seperate copies but you cant access them offline. There are three ways of doing that very simply. You can either sshfs, which will remote mount your music file on the client. Or you can use a music client that supports streaming files from a remote directory (effectively doing a very similar thing). Finally, you can stream the files with a music client, meaning you download parts of them and then stream them. On how to listen I recommend using mpd+ncmpcpp or cmus, they are both terminal interfaces that work very well (though mpd is more expendable by nature). Personnally I keep all my music on a server and when I add some I add it there with remote scripts. Then I have a command to rsync all my music and run that from times to times or when I add a new album. Finally I use mpd+ncmpcpp to listen to it. It all works great and I am very happy.
(oh i also keep a copy of my music files that I turn into mp3 to listen on my old phone).

>111Gb
Just copy it onto your phone or PMP

why would you go through all that trouble and then not use balanced connections and shielded connectors aaaaaaaaaahhh

>111gb
what are you listening? Do you even listen to all of them daily? Just delete that shit and use YouTube. 128kbps MP3 from YouTube is fine

Syncthing across multiple devicesor just store all your music on a NAS and run Navidrome on Docker with the music folder as volume.

Get a terabyte SD card for your listening device

The easiest would just be a shared drive and a VPN on your phone/laptop to connect back to it.

Use any of the hundreds of music players for GNU/Linux, Windows, macOS, iOS or Android systems, and use rsync to move files around. Jesus fuck, are you literally retarded? If by "move around" you mean physically transferring to another place, put it on a 256 GB micro SD card and stick it in your phone, vehicle infotainment system, or any other mobile media player.

My music collection is stored on my server, and I use Jellyfin to stream it to my devices.
