So I used Jellyfin mostly for series and movies, so far work great. However I got a couple of audiobooks I want to listen to on my way to work and Jellyfin stop working each time I close my screen. So yeah…
What are you using for music ?
Update : People suggest Finamp, which I installed on my phone and tried to make it work on my server. After rebuilding my audiobook library to a music library, Finamp didn’t find anything. I’ve restarted, update, etc.
Work out the problem in naming my library « Musique », now Finamp seems to be able to open it
Thanks for all your help 🤟 you rock
Update 2 : Finamp don’t seems to remember where I’ve finish my last listening 🤣 all that for this. Great app however

Finamp has been my goto for my music collection for several years. I know there are better solutions, but I’m not hardcore, I just want a simple app that streams my music from the server reliably.
The only thing that is a pain is getting all the tags and metadata correct, but there are lots of good apps to help with that also.
Lidarr with Navidrome for me. Then I let everyone in the family use Plexamp with our Plex server for them. They don’t care about replaygain or any of that shit so it’s easier.
For music I ended up using navidrome, and, on Android symfonium, which is paid (single payment) but so good, better than anything I tried at least a year ago. On a computer you can use any open subsonic client since navidrome exposes that
Symfonium really is so good, solved a bunch of headaches I was having
Audiobookshelf for audiobooks and Navidrome for music.
This is the way
Jellyfin doesnt handle music quite as well as Navidrome does. Jellyfin is awesome for watchable media but it lacks a little on music. Navidrome handles artist metadata better. For clients, 100% Feishin on desktop, its just about perfect. On mobile, Castafiore or Resonus I think are two of the best. Finamp is great for a Jellyfin client on mobile but still it depends on the Jellyfin server which again doesnt handle metadata as well.
audiobookshelf for audiobooks specifically, with Lissen as the android client.
For music, Navidrome with Tempus as android client and Feishin as desktop client, all scrobbling to ListenBrainz.
A fellow Tempus enjoyer
indeed enjoying it muchly! Coming from (paid) symfonium, but not missing anything as Tempus is nearly as beautiful. Can’t say it’s lacking any features that I need, so yea, very happy with it.
Only downside, if any, is since its foss, it’ll end up costing me more through donations than the one-time Symfonium payment 🤣
It’s the only open source client I’ve found that works relatively well with Android Auto :)
