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

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.

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 :)

My exact setup after trying a lot of different configurations.

For those okay with non-foss, absorb is a good option for audiobooks on android. The download feature works better than others I've tried.

Pretty sure absorb is foss, just not available on the fdroid store.

Even better! Can get it through obtainium then.
