Plex (premium) works surprisingly well for me with music. Can sync or play from server. Should work in Linux too. https://launchpad.net/~plexapp/+archive/ubuntu/plexht

> Tip!: The Mobile Sync feature requires an active Plex Pass subscription for the main Plex Media Server account.

Paying for being able to transfer files within 1m ? Yeah no. Thanks for the tip though.

Well iTunes is not free either. I paid lifetime fee. It's expensive but to me worth the peace of mind. And should Plex go bad, it forces you to keep your files in a decent structure, so I feel confident I could migrate them to some other solution pretty easily, should push come to shove.

iTunes as in software is free. My music is mainly electronic livesets, nothing DRM, so all the streaming services mean nothing to my taste.

Well, iTunes runs only on Windows and OSX, neither of which are free. Nitpicking maybe. I don't like streaming services either except my own. What did you mean by that "within one minute"? I didn't understand that.
