It was the best music service there was imo.
Now it's buying my music and Jellyfinning it up.
Yes I too am "buying" music and adding it to my Emby and Music Assistant servers.
Why emby over jf?
I have had Emby forever. Love it for videos, but it's absolutely garbage for music. It's just not built to support music, so it's clunky and slow. I never used plex or jelly, but both built stand-alone music apps to address this exact problem, so I would assume they are both better. Emby was asked to build one, but they basically said no and also not anytime soon if they ever do decide to. They really didn't seem to get what was so bad with what they already offered.
There are standalone music apps for emby though, I use symfonium on android which is simply awesome. It's not that expensive either.
There is no official standalone music app for jellyfin. The regular apps do great with music though
Not sure; Iβve been using Plex for music. The app (and added features) are very nice to have (and donβt exist in Jellyfin).
I run a JF server as well as Plex to see where they are (from time to time) with their music app and it doesnβt have nearly the features PlexAmp has.
I currently use strawberry on my PC for most music, and still am searching for a FOSS android app. I thought it was Mucke, but it doesn't see more than half my tracks for some reason.
Metro is pretty good, especially if you liked google music
Not Foss though?
Why not use Navidrome. It supports the SubSonic API so there's a wider array of clients you can use, and it has a pretty good web UI.
Because Symfonium and Tauon exist.
Those are just players, right? Navidrome is also a subsonic server. Do you use something else?
I use Navidrome with Symfonium, love it! Thanks for letting me know about Tauon. I use Supersonic but Tauon seems will also fit my needs, don't know why I hadn't seen it before
Yeah. I use use Jellyfin. Symfonium is the best player I've found and it supports most everything.
Tauon is a weird one, but it's great with Jellyfin. Play counts are a little wonky at times though.
(My response was in reaction to them asking why I'm using Jellyfin when there's no need to change as I already have good players that support it.)
(Oh yeah missed that, thanks!)
+1 for Navidrome. I switched over to it over a year ago and it provides everything I had with subsonic before subsonic crashed hard one day and I decided to find a more up to date application. I pair it with the android app Symfonium and I feel like I am using a high end streaming service.
