I rediscovered the joy of my own music collection by quitting Spotify and switching to self-hosted Navidrome.

      Finamp is the official iOS Jellyfin music player. If only the would publish the latest beta version to the App Store! Apparently it’s so much better than the current release, but I refuse to sign up for test flight and the associated Apple terms.

        Can’t crossfade, developers won’t add the features the server doesn’t support it. I get a random crashes at least once a session. Search sucks because I don’t feel like wiring up elastic. Doesn’t stream large lists, browse to P? With 5000 artists and 20K tracks? Forever.

        The beta is a little smoother but doesn’t address any of my issues with it.

        Symphonium is 100 times better, never crashes, solves lists/streaming by downloading the lists and handling them locally.

      Oh, sorry, I did not mean to imply that there re no players (there are, e.g. Finamp), just nowhere near the same level of polish, features and stability.
