Thanks for putting this together! This is an excellent write up and is super informative! I'm already using Navidrome + Tempo with Lidarr for my music library, but since the database issues with Lidarr popped up a few months ago I haven't bothered adding new stuff.
I had no idea Explo was a thing, it's just what I've been hoping existed. I'm going to try and get it integrated into my set up.
Anyone have suggestions for an iOS media player I can connect to a setup like this?
For Jellyfin I really like Manet and Finamp
I’ve been using play:Sub for years (for subsonic, then airsonic).
i like use amperfy on ios and i think it’s nice. for jellyfin i tried finamp, but i disliked music streaming via jellyfin in the end (mainly because making playlists was a hassle)
amperfy takes me back to the old days when i used itunes and an ipod touch interface wise
Spotify has a feature where if it is playing on another device, you can control it with any other device logged into the account, is there any good way to replicate this with a linux desktop and an android phone?
That's something I've struggled to find so far unfortunately. Maybe something exists but I haven't found an answer yet.
It really is spotify's killer feature for me, probably won't switch to something that doesn't have it.
Jellyfin has a remote control feature that lets you do something like this, I use it quite a lot for music.
That whole Spotify Connect feature and Sonos support is what keeps me in the ecosystem, unfortunately...
This setup is very similar to mine
Was just thinking about doing this over the weekend cuz youtube music's offline functionality seems to have gone down drastically.
Good write up. Spotify is the lsdt for me to replace
For me it's YouTube.
I need this i've been struggling to replace spotify.
Couple of questions about the directory structure: why separate library folders? Can't they play off a central library and wouldn't something like Overseer take care of requests?
Might be worse than Spotify when it comes to privacy but YT Music with Adblock is great. And AFAIK they have better music quality.
