Hi All
How do you all manage your music playlists? I am on Linux selfhosted server
I find JF great for movies/TV but a bit of a nightmare for music. Its not easy to just add music to a playlist.
I use finamp to play on my phone, I am not attached to it TBH, I could change player.
Is there any suggested ways of easily creating playlists, its for randoms, say i want a bunch of 80s songs for example from my library. I heard of a plugin called smartlists but I cant find it
I WILL MOVE THIS ACROSS TO SELFHOSTING- thanks all.
we dont use jellyfin for music… https://www.navidrome.org/
edit: i just realized i am in the jellyfin community amd not selfhosted but my answer doesnt change. there isnt one app to do everything well.
so i will be removing my muisc library from jF? and installing navidrome as the manager?
yes. i love jellyfin but it is not good at music.
Agreed 100%. Jellyfin is great for watchable media but it just doesnt work well with music libraries and its metadata. Navidrome is the way. Feishin is probably the best and most preferred client for Navidrome on desktop. And theres tons of clients for mobile whether youre on Android or iOS.
that looks quite nice…but i am apple (for now…i know) i do find JF awkward with music, i have lots of randoms rather than full albums, i keep setting metadat for example images and it just switches the info out.
