I was hoping to go all in with Jellyfin, but it's been absolutely maddening to try to get it to play nice with my curated library. It just makes too many dumb assumptions about artist metadata.

Any other suggestions?

EDIT: I installed Navidrome, then poured over the documentation for the config file and micromanaged every setting. This has allowed me to get damn near close to the exact unobtrusive behavior I had hoped for.

EDIT 2: AFA mobile client goes, I'd absolutely consider paying for Symphonium, if it didn't seem to require my having a Google Play account (fuck that). So instead I'm trying Tempo.

I have over 3 TB of music. SD cards aren't quite that big yet.

sure, then in your case, if you absolutely must have access to it all at one time, then home streaming makes sense.

for me, and i do imagine most ppl (tho i could be wrong!), it doesn't make sense compared to just returning to local.

genius that i am, i only realized that AFTER i setup a jellyfin server on my home server for streaming my music. XD derp.

I use navidrome. And what's nice about it is, there are 3 people in my household, they can all access that. We all have our own favorite tracks saved in our preferred player, and we can still save a good chunk of them to our phones.

In my case, I have a random mood playlist of 200 tracks that gets updated every morning before I wake up, my phone app caches all 200 of them, so I can play them without network access.

how does this work for you? i was on gonic but moved back to navidrome to allow for mopidy to let home assistant trigger playlists directly (with the mpd integration)

but i haven't figured out the smart playlists yet

[–] HiTekRedNek@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I have a few smart playlists set up that are each various genres of music. It's not perfect, but it works well enough.

that's a great use case!

muahaha.. daw

my library is already tough to sift through.

20,000 mainly flacs and it's still less than 500gb

du -hd1 | grep Music
