Hey folks,
I'm using since years subsonic to stream music to my mobile device. Subsonic and it's known alternatives like Airsonic aren't really mainained though and some existing bugs are frustrating. Can you recommend me a good alternative to stream my own music collection to my mobile device?

OP I'm fairly certain your issue is with your music file metadata rather than the software. I suspect if you clean it with musicbrainz picard or open it with a tag editor you will find its using slightly different characters in different metadata fields. You can test this by loading up one of the offending files, clearing all of its metadata and see if that looks better!

This is a great idea and reading through all these other replies points the same direction. I will try just that!
