So I used Jellyfin mostly for series and movies, so far work great. However I got a couple of audiobooks I want to listen to on my way to work and Jellyfin stop working each time I close my screen. So yeah…
What are you using for music ?
Update : People suggest Finamp, which I installed on my phone and tried to make it work on my server. After rebuilding my audiobook library to a music library, Finamp didn’t find anything. I’ve restarted, update, etc.
Work out the problem in naming my library « Musique », now Finamp seems to be able to open it
Thanks for all your help 🤟 you rock
Update 2 : Finamp don’t seems to remember where I’ve finish my last listening 🤣 all that for this. Great app however

Audiobookshelf for audiobooks and Navidrome for music.
civ@lemmy.civl.cc · 5 pts · 25d
This is the way
myrmidex@belgae.social · 19 pts · 26d
audiobookshelf for audiobooks specifically, with Lissen as the android client.
For music, Navidrome with Tempus as android client and Feishin as desktop client, all scrobbling to ListenBrainz.

A fellow Tempus enjoyer
myrmidex@belgae.social · 1 pts · 25d
indeed enjoying it muchly! Coming from (paid) symfonium, but not missing anything as Tempus is nearly as beautiful. Can't say it's lacking any features that I need, so yea, very happy with it.
Only downside, if any, is since its foss, it'll end up costing me more through donations than the one-time Symfonium payment 🤣

It's the only open source client I've found that works relatively well with Android Auto :)
gedaliyah@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 26d
My exact setup after trying a lot of different configurations.

For those okay with non-foss, absorb is a good option for audiobooks on android. The download feature works better than others I've tried.
LemmyMammoth@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 23d
Pretty sure absorb is foss, just not available on the fdroid store.
buffing_lecturer@leminal.space · 1 pts · 23d
Even better! Can get it through obtainium then.
Eldaroth@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 26d
Well besides the excellent options already mentioned by others, there is also Finamp, a Jellyfin music player.
Others have also mentioned Symfonium which can play audio from a Jellyfin server as well, not only from a subsonic one like Navidrome.

So far Finamp doesn’t seems to find my music folder, I’m restarting my server. Will see
philanthropicoctopus@thelemmy.club · 3 pts · 26d
See if you can get it going. I've found it to be a wonderful tool to listen to music.
And yeah audiobookshelf is king for audio books. You'd have to tinker with jellyfin a lot to get half the features. Better to use something that just works out the box
TribblesBestFriend@startrek.website · 1 pts · 26d
I think I have found the problem, Finanp don’t seems to recognize Jellyfin Libraries not label « music »
ItsNotImportant24@lemmy.ml · 10 pts · 26d
Jellyfin doesnt handle music quite as well as Navidrome does. Jellyfin is awesome for watchable media but it lacks a little on music. Navidrome handles artist metadata better. For clients, 100% Feishin on desktop, its just about perfect. On mobile, Castafiore or Resonus I think are two of the best. Finamp is great for a Jellyfin client on mobile but still it depends on the Jellyfin server which again doesnt handle metadata as well.

I started using Navidrom as suggested by someone in the group. I do not have audio books but it has a spot for them. If you want to get all fancy like you can use the MusicBrainz Picard for tagging stuff differently (or something like that I am really feeling the glue and sealant they used to put down the laminate in my place right now) but AudioMuse-AI does something to (again really feeling it).
TribblesBestFriend@startrek.website · 2 pts · 26d
Next step is Navidrom or AudioBookshelf (self ?) but it’s late here. Also go take some air
civ@lemmy.civl.cc · 1 pts · 25d
AudioMuse-AI is amazing for large music libraries
Reannlegge@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 25d
I wish I had something better than a pi5 for ollama, and ripping my CD’s when I get those back out of storage.
Bakkoda@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 25d
I started it up and about a week later got a disk space notice. I don't recall how much space it had used but it was too much for my liking. Maybe misconfigured?
cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca · 7 pts · 25d
While I use plexamp/finamp for music and jellyfin/Plex for video, I use audiobookshelf for my audio books and it works amazingly well.
irmadlad@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 25d
I recommend Navidrome for music. The only issue I have with Navidrome is that with a playlist that contains a large collection of music, bogs down to the point of being inoperable. So, I have to split the playlist into smaller chunks.

it may just be a background permission problem

Yeah I’ve found those too. Thanks I’ve seems to have solved my issue
rando@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 26d
For music use Finamp or Symfonium. I've my music in directories and Finamp is fine.
TribblesBestFriend@startrek.website · 1 pts · 26d
I’m trying to make Finamp work
papelitofeliz@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 25d
For music I ended up using navidrome, and, on Android symfonium, which is paid (single payment) but so good, better than anything I tried at least a year ago. On a computer you can use any open subsonic client since navidrome exposes that
paris@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 25d
I love Symfonium so much it's such a stellar app that's actively developed and very customizable. It was so so so worth the $5 or $10 I paid for it.
yuki_gassen@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 24d
Symfonium really is so good, solved a bunch of headaches I was having
westingham@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 26d
For Jellyfin, I prefer Manet.
Overall, though, I keep my music in Navidrome rather than Jellyfin.
HeyJoe@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 26d
I dont use Jellyfin, but I heard of some of the things it did and jellyfin sounded like a step above due to its dedicated music app and similar songs for playlists.
I use Navidrome as the server and Symfonium for the mobile app. It is by far the best option I have ever used in the 20 years of setting up a personal server. I used Subsonic before this but it was abandoned years ago and Navidrome is a fork of it. The amount of continuous effort put in and new features that still get released is fantastic. Im always excited when i see a new version drop.
nfms@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 25d
I use Jellyfin but never even thought about it for streaming music.
Navidrome and Symfonium is my choice as well and I could not be happier. I really appreciate that the team behind Navidrome still works on it but it 100% serves my purpose right now.
brickfrog@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 26d
Are you asking about music, or audiobooks specifically? I haven't tinkered with audiobooks so am not sure if that's handled differently..
For music I've been using Jellyfin as the server. On Android have tried a bunch of different apps, substreamer and Symfonium are the better apps. But I also like Fintunes, Jellify, and Resonus.
Fun fact: You can use most OpenSubsonic / Subsonic compatible apps with Jellyfin once you add the Subfin plugin (https://github.com/williamkray/subfin-plugin).
Lettuceeatlettuce@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 24d
Finamp has been my goto for my music collection for several years. I know there are better solutions, but I'm not hardcore, I just want a simple app that streams my music from the server reliably.
The only thing that is a pain is getting all the tags and metadata correct, but there are lots of good apps to help with that also.
DonutsRMeh@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 25d
If you have an android phone, you're welcome to use my app Stillshelf. It has two shells, one for audiobooks (audiobookshelf specifically) and the other for music (Navidrome).
ari_verse@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 25d
For Music and streaming, specially for hi-res audio. SACD etc streaming, take a look at lyrion music server. The best solution of the myriad I tried self-hosting. Supports podcasts and audiobooks as well

I’ve always liked Plex/Plexamp but have been using Jellyfin more lately and found Finamp to be pretty solid. I just wish it worked with Apple CarPlay.
TribblesBestFriend@startrek.website · 1 pts · 26d
So far Finamp don’t seems to find my Music folder. I’m trying restarting my server
timmytbt@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 25d
BookPlayer is another one for iOS
Bakkoda@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 24d
Lidarr with Navidrome for me. Then I let everyone in the family use Plexamp with our Plex server for them. They don't care about replaygain or any of that shit so it's easier.
mrnngglry@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 25d
If you're on iOS, the app BookPlayer works well. When you choose to add files, you can choose from a media server, including both Jellyfin and AudiobookShelf.
TribblesBestFriend@startrek.website · 1 pts · 25d
Hou! I’ll tried that. Thanks
