Dedicated music server or all-in-one media server? (lemmy.zip)

I see that when people ask for music servers, people frequently suggest Navidrome or mpd/mopidy. I haven't tried either. I'm just using Jellyfin as an all-in-one. I'm wondering why do people choose to use a dedicated music server over an all-in-one like Jellyfin?

Is the extra overhead worth it?

I don't run Jellyfin yet, does it or symphonium support playlists? I guess generally some kind of recommendation algorithm would be nice, but would need some third party metadata like from last.fm

Jellyfin natively supports playlists. Symphonium also supports playlists, both local and from your Jellyfin server.

Symphonium supports playlists. You can make a own manual playlist or a "smart" playlist, which has the x amount of least listened to songs, the 10 highest rated ones and so on. Everything is on the listening device local, so you have to backup for yourself. Symphonium is really really customizable.

Screenshot_20250829_135759 Sorry for german. A setting for an intelligent playlist for all highly rated songs which I havent listented to in 70 days. (AND/OR) can be set for rules. Its amazing.

Music recommendation is not really a thing unfortunately by the nature which most of download->server->jellyfin->client systems run.

You really need the "big data"-aspect which spotify or similar providers have to have good recommendation, so no local solution is possible. I sometimes use listenbrainz (by the musicbrainz team) like lastfm and then manually aquire new music I want to have on my musicserver.
