Pretty much the title: What do you use, what do you like?

I’m a bit disappointed with the jellyfin music experience. Video works great, but when I tried them. there wasn’t any app that seemed a bit… janky.

I tried Finamp and Jellytunes. Both made me try out subsonic. 😅

I’m also a bit annoyed that I haven’t found a great Linux client for music yet. Mopidy plugins never worked for me. But jellyfin-tui does the job.

    I love Jellyfin and use it for all my videos, but have to question if it is really the most optimized platform for music.

    In my opinion, running a navidrome server on the side is a better option. It is designed just for music and because it supports the subsonic protocol there are tons of different clients to suit different needs.

    It looks like there have been some attempts at a subsonic plug-in for Jellyfin which would give you access to many more clients, but I don’t know the state of them.

      I keep reading about navidrome and your comment reminded me to check it out. I see as one of the install options they include a ready to go podman quadlet. I’m sold and I’m going to try it right now.

      Update: Its great! Glad I finally set it up

      Jellyfin is definitely not optimized for music. I tell everyone every chance I get that Navidrome is where its at. And there are so many clients available for Navidrome/Subsonic on all platforms, its a no-brainer to set it up if one has a decent music library.
