Anyone here use jellyfin for streaming music? Would be neat if we could have something like jellyfin or plex and use it to share music libraries and whatnot. Iβve used plex in the past, which you have to pay a monthly fee to stream to friends, but I havenβt tried jellyfin.
navidrome is better for music, cause it has corresponding apps to download stuff on phone, and web thingy is more music oriented
(the only bad thingy - it doesn't handle fullrips with .cues gracefully, so have to manually split them up)
jellyfin also has many apps to steam music both on desktop or on mobile. finamp is available for mobile and is very good, supports downloads, transcoding, lyrics etc
i didn't like finamp design at the time, but what others?
finamp is about to release their redesign which is really nice imo. on desktop feishin is a very good option. I used to use Gelli on Android, there are others I haven't looked in a while tbh
on desktop i can plug music bee on remote folder, so not that problematic tbh. gotta try redesign when they finish it
Can you set up auto request/download with Navidrome? I was reading that Jellyfin + Symfomium works pretty well for music but I have little experience with either.
dunno about auto, probably varies app by app, amperfly which i use has sync whole library or manually select what you need (although, handling of uncached songs is very meh). symfomium works on subsonic according to splash page (which is what navidrome is broadcasting), so that's kinda irrelevant, it will work with it. This is exactly the reason i use it, it uses open standard (airsonic/subsonic) many people are implementing/using, while jellyfin just does jelly stuff.
While extremely great for movies/tv, where it's only game in town, handling of audiobooks, music, photos are done better elsewhere, i think. Although it does them well, just other programs do it nicer in some aspects.
