Jellyfin as a Spotify Alternative

panopticon · 2025-04-17T00:28:51 1744849731

I embarked on a similar journey last year after YouTube Music took down some albums I listened to religiously.

I settled on Plex + Plexamp instead. I'm mostly satisfied, but there are some rough edges like Chromecast and web playback.

Just wish Jellyfin would support S3 compatible targets for media storage :/

I have my music loaded into plex and use plexamp but because it’s a nas, I also map it into an owntunes docker container so I get local playback via the HomePods in the house.

I use Jellyfin in this way. You can also use it with music apps like Symfonium for Android, and you can play on a Sonos via DLNA.

Love JellyFin!

I do not mind the jankiness, since I can work around a lot of it with the API.

I do not even mind too much the Love Exposure bug:

Anyone have opinions on Jellyfin vs music-specific servers like Navidrome?

sodality2 · 2025-04-17T00:27:44 1744849664

Personally I switched Navidrome since I found the clients to be better and the scanner to be lighter, but there's a few things I miss: casting was nice, as well as centralizing my media on one everything-app.

I've used both, and wound up using Jellyfin mostly because it also does movies/TV and I mostly listen to music from external apps, so a music specific server wouldn't be adding much benefit.
