I know there is a lot about Plex to hate, but I am always grateful for Plexamp. It requires a Plex pass, but it’s worth it for Plexamp alone imo.
Jellyfin doesn't have something comparable in the dedicated (OSS) world, but Symfonium takes a Jellyfin connection and is hands down the single best music player I have ever encountered on any platform.
Doesn't finamp provide music player features?
I wish jellyfin would support downloading music out of the box.
Oh, sorry, I did not mean to imply that there re no players (there are, e.g. Finamp), just nowhere near the same level of polish, features and stability.
My experience with self-hosted apps on my phone are limited. I've never used Plex so I never used it's mobile app.
So thank you for the clarification.
