  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.

        My experience with self-hosted apps on my phone are limited. I’ve never used Plex so I never used it’s mobile app.

        So thank you for the clarification.

      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.

        They both suck pretty bad

    I’d love to try symfonium but I am on iOS.

  I mean, if you’re paying for something anyway, Navidrome + Symfonium is (to me) a better option.

    Plexamp also lets you stream it outside your network and share it with friends, no vpn etc needed.

  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.

    Yeah…all these companies try to sell you a solution to your problems…but it always involves giving them control over how you use your own products.

    Did you check the server logs? Should be able to see pretty quickly what it was doing.
