    For me, the killer app for Plex is Plexamp, the music client. It’s superb, and AFAIK Jellyfin doesn’t really have an equivalent (there are 3P options, but they’re lacking).

      For me (Android) I have used these:

      • Finamp
      • Default Jellyfin App
      • Symfonium

      And Symfonium can do many sources and is the moat powerful.
      Finamp is neat but couldnt do casting to my soundbar via google cast

        I have a navidrome server. Nothing, really nothing comes close to Plexamp and its features … sadly … but they all ain’t bad and got the basic stuff right

            Not the same person, but Plexamp uses plexs data / algorithms and had a way to create playlists and selected good songs. Hard to beat when not collecting data.
