gelli VS finamp

Since recently, I mostly used Gelli to play my jellyfin music library and was very happy with it, then I discovered Symfonium and bought it because of the Android Auto compatibility, + I like the "random" list on 1st page which allow me to rediscover old stuff I may have forgotten.

I hate spotify so I built a Jellyfin server with my own audio files so I can stream them everywhere I go. Cleaning up all the tags was a *lot* of work. Playback using Gelli (I've also become a contributor in the process because it was the best player for Jellyfin but missing some features I would've liked) and scobbling with Pano scrobbler for Android.

Maybe Gelli would work for you.

For music playing only from a Jellyfin server, I would recommend Gelli, which features gapless and cache. It's the best music player I know for Jellyfin.

I listen to music on my phone with Gelli. This does not scrobble music either. I'm open to switching apps but finamp seems also not to support scrobbling.

Jellyfin on the server side and Gelli for the client assuming you are using Android.

You can just use the music player app from your android phone to connect your jellyfin. Such as gelli or finamp

You could try Jellyfin as a media server, it has various Android apps that can stream from it that work quite well. I haven't made up my mind yet which one I prefer, so I use both interchangeably: Gelli and Finamp.

I have Jellyfin setup alongside Plex, and the one thing that's keeping me from moving fully off Plex is Plexamp [1]. It works flawlessly on my phone/laptops, includes a ton of features and is a pleasure to use - especially compared to Spotify or Apple Music.

I am aware of FinAmp [2] and music players for Jellyfin, but they aren't comparable to PlexAmp yet.

Use Finamp.

Ah ok, I've been looking into OPUS transcoding in Finamp, it should be possible on Android. There are a few bugs with Jellyfin that makes it a bit awkward, which can be seen here

Sonixd is great, I also want to release Finamp on desktop at some point (I am the developer :) )

The changelog can be found at https://github.com/jmshrv/finamp/releases/tag/0.6.11

I use finamp for This!

Note that the donation is to me personally. Some other Finamp contributors also have a sponsor page, such as Chaphasilor, who's been the main person behind the redesign.
