I rediscovered the joy of my own music collection by quitting Spotify and switching to self-hosted Navidrome.

I know there is a lot about Plex to hate, but I am always grateful for Plexamp. It requires a Plex pass, but it’s worth it for Plexamp alone imo.

    Jellyfin doesn't have something comparable in the dedicated (OSS) world, but Symfonium takes a Jellyfin connection and is hands down the single best music player I have ever encountered on any platform.

    Doesn't finamp provide music player features?

    I wish jellyfin would support downloading music out of the box.

    Oh, sorry, I did not mean to imply that there re no players (there are, e.g. Finamp), just nowhere near the same level of polish, features and stability.

    Finamp is the official iOS Jellyfin music player. If only the would publish the latest beta version to the App Store! Apparently it’s so much better than the current release, but I refuse to sign up for test flight and the associated Apple terms.

    Can't crossfade, developers won't add the features the server doesn't support it. I get a random crashes at least once a session. Search sucks because I don't feel like wiring up elastic. Doesn't stream large lists, browse to P? With 5000 artists and 20K tracks? Forever.

    The beta is a little smoother but doesn't address any of my issues with it.

    Symphonium is 100 times better, never crashes, solves lists/streaming by downloading the lists and handling them locally.

    Finamp certainly needs some work but it’s far better than the native Jellyfin application, at least for iOS/iPadOS, I can now listen to music in the background.

    Hell the Finamp contributors took my suggestion on a way to sort playlists and actually implemented it so I gotta say much props to them.

    Too bad it's unusable if you're like me and have huge playlists that you want to offline for shuffling due to spending long stretches of time without an Internet connection.

    When I asked about this limitation, I was told that it was stupid to have such big playlists and needing to offline them because nobody is without Internet for long enough times for it to matter.

    Great response from the developers that.
