jellysub VS TauonMusicBox

To summarise what we've gotten to so far: - Jellyfin web can do this using Instant Mix feature, but instant mix is at present pretty basic (see discussion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/jellyfin/comments/o0eic8/what_is_instant_mix_actually_based_on_also_is/). It won't work very well at the level of "Artist" but starting from a specific track or album produces a pretty good mix for some music in my library. Instant mixes can be saved as playlists. - Some Jellyfin apps can do this: especially symfonium (android) has advanced features for making mixes. The only limitation here seems to be saving playlists back to jellyfin server. And if you don't have an android phone and sonixd has a very limited ability to create a (completely, and imho unhelpfully) random playlist. - There are more convoluted solutions. Jellyfin users can try to use Subsonic clients with jellyfin by installing a server shim, but it seems this isn't being developed anymore and I wasn't able to get it running. It is also possible to use jellyfin as an MPD server, so more generic clients can be used here too.

For the Jellyfin API it might be worth adding https://github.com/nvllsvm/jellysub, it's an API compatibility layer to let Subsonic-compatible apps query Jellyfin.

Subsonic

Whatever you name it, try to make the UI look like Tauon Music Box. I love that application but its built on GTK3 I believe.

Finding music players that support any kind of rating is already difficult, since many devs ignore or straight up hate this feature entirely, and the most commonly used Popularimeter (POPM) standard in ID3 tags is apparently not always consistent.

This isn't a major release, but its been a year since I posted this here on r/linux and there's been many releases in that time. You can check version release notes here: https://github.com/Taiko2k/TauonMusicBox/releases.

TauonMusicBox

TauonMusicBox supports Jellyfin and Spotify if I recall correctly.

The only documentation on connecting to Jellyfin I have is this page. Its a little vague but if you have setup a Jellyfin server it should be obvious what information needs to be entered.
