Hi there,

I use a Jellyfin server to host my own movies and trying to think about doing the same about music. The problem is that I watch roughly one movie a week but a lot more of music (all day long). For now I’m mainly using sp0tify but the UI is worse and worse, constantly asking for more money.

I don’t care much about my playlists but I’d need to start a list of the groups I listen to, probably around 200/300 ones on “random”.

I’d be curious how you started you transition / technical one too.

Thanks

Edit: wow Thanks a lot for the great advices. I already have a tailscale + Jellyfin so I will probably start there with symfonium. For the download I will give soulseek a go.

    I can highly recommend symfonium as a front end for a jellyfin music library on android, it’s super clean and has tons of nice features.

    Why not just spin up Syncthing, sync your music between your phone and server, and then use one of the countless good local music players.

    You own the music anyway, you have a limited library, and there is 0 delay having your music locally along with no buffering, offline access, and it will always be at max quality.

    (Of course, not realistic if you have 500GB of music and no SD card slot in your phone)

      That’s the problem right there. SD card storage is so cheap, but the manufacturers don’t include a slot for it.
