What do you use for music library streaming? (lemmy.sdf.org)

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.

Thank you for the info. I might try this, however I'm already having a 10x better experience now that I've set up Navidrome, and then tried the Symphonium client.

I did this for a while, and only switched back to Jellyfin/Finamp while degoogling (needed for paid version). I thought it was definitely worth it while I was using it. I also listen to music on the TV and Jellyfin handles it better than other options I tried (including side-loading symfonium).

I currently use a separate music library manager on my server to organize my music collection, then Jellyfin just does the server work.

I think you'll be very happy with the setup you are using.

Personally I just run both.

Navidrome is what I would call the daily driver, but since its just a share that JF can also see, for TV playback its JF just like you.

But I'm also a stickler for metadata so I don't often run into issues. When I do see something come up thats not right, I correct manually. Which wasn't happening very often until lidarr had the metadata issue with musicbrainz, though the past few months its been a manual effort.

You can use Symphonium with JF libraries as well.

I almost set up Navidrome but I have TVs and Movies on JF already
