    Too little to late imo. I long switched to jellyfin and can use all the features that plexamp offered for free in various apps of my choosing

      Ya I’m surprised that people are advocating for Plex these days especially in a self hosting community, it’s overbloated and mostly exists to force their FAST service down your throat

        Plex has to be one thing where I like the bloat. It makes it feel like a fully featured streaming service that I control instead of just a fancy looking video folder.

        I’m assuming cause it works good enough for most that the incentive to change it nearly none. Kinda the same deal with moving from reddit, works good for the use case that open stuff might be worse.

      which apps? I tried jellyfin and plexamp works better than any of the jellyfin android music players I tried.

        Currently using symfonium, does everything I need at least. Can’t speak for plex since it been years but it has most of the things you need, offline playback, playlist downloading and syncing, casting, supports transcoding etc. Plus it works with plex already so you can try it out (it’s free for a week then paid iirc but it’s well worth imho)

          I use symfonium too. Great app. I’ve stumbled across some bugs here or there but that might be due to my setup and if I actually bothered to report them, I imagine the developer would be quick to fix them. At least he was fast to reply the last time I opened a ticket.

          One great thing I like about Symfonium is the aggregation of multiple libraries. You can add a plex, jellyfin or subsonic API compatible server (like navidrome) simultaneously.

        Give Gelli a try, I pretty much use it exclusively to listen to my music on the phone.

        Didn’t find a good alternative for desktop yet though.

      I haven’t looked in a few years, does jellyfin have seeded shuffling where you pick a song and it builds a playlist around it?

        The player I use for it is symfonium and it can do instant mixes. Genre tagged based tho, so it can be a little wonky but it gets the job done for the most part

        If you don’t mind using Xbox Media Player you can enable dlna in jellyfin. It’s how I typically stream to my smart tv

          Doesn’t hold a candle to the plex setup. I might be able to deal with it, but I would miss the UI, and my wife wouldn’t go for it at all.
