right now I'm trying a dedicated Jellyfin instance for audio only (bought the lifetime emby subscription before i learned about jellyfin, so video is elsewhere) but having trouble finding a good client that could run on the guts of an old autonomic MMS2A. That device has an analog and digital output, which with the normal OS treated as two separate sources. is that something anyone else has tinkered with? the original plan was to just run a kodi instance with the jellyfin addon, but im not sure if this has the horsepower to run kodi, and certainly not two at once! (4gb of ram max for this beast.

i need it to be remotely controllable, it'd be cool to have easy playlist management/backup that other devices could see, and potentially an android client if possible?

I've dabbled with the "____sonic" ecosystem back before i was really good at linux, and struggled a bunch, before giving up without anything real to show for it.

just curious if anyone else has been down this road successfully!

thanks for this community, my scrolling stops INSTANTLY when i see a post from here.

(oh my music server is a truenas SMB share, hosted in a proxmox vm! not opposed to putting a big SSD in this device if local music would make things easier)

2TB? How!

Currently sat on 5GB across 920 files

Well, I don't actually play all of them in a straight line; it's more of an archive. Still, my main playlist is few thousand songs long, which is created with smart playlists.

I'm close to a TB myself. For me, I'm a bit of a "completionist" and can't stand having just 2 or 3 tracks from an entire album. Every track I have is accompanied by the rest of the album it was released on.

Sure, it means there are some duplicates at times, but it's worth it to me.

Same. There are some tracks and albums I don't like, but I won't delete them. Another reason to use smart playlist, I can just put them into "Not My Style" playlist and it's magically gone from my main list.
