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.

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.

@ItsNotImportant24 i have my music on a Jellyfin instance, but I access it through #musicassistant

I'm not familiar with musicassistant so I can't speak for it. Just saying jellyfin itself doesn't handle music libraries all that well. I'm so satisfied with Navidrome I can't think of any reason to try something else currently. It's just great.

@ItsNotImportant24 yup, I get that. I can’t speak to navidrome either - The joys of open and free systems where we can choose 😊
