sonixd VS Ampache

Try this https://github.com/jeffvli/sonixd

You can use Sonixd to stream music from your own Jellyfin or Subsonic server.

I've you're still looking for a desktop client, check out Sonixd. Also for both Subsonic and Jellyfin. Best I've found. It stores playlists in the backend and has MPRIS supporr.

On Android I use Subtracks and on desktop Sonixd.

Glad you like Navidrome. This information is already in place, just not exposed in the UI. If you use a client that provides this info (Sonixd, Airsonic Refix, DSub, ...) You you see this. Ex: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/331353/212409922-ba5f589f-dadb-449f-a3e9-03065b8ba8e5.png

Cool project! For anyone that’s struggling with chrome tabs and is looking for a good Navidrome client for desktop sonixd is fantastic: https://github.com/jeffvli/sonixd

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.

It won't be applicable to everyone, but I want to give a plug to Sonixd[1]: it's a Subsonic client, meaning that it'll work with Subsonic or any other music server that uses the Subsonic API (Navidrome, Airsonic, gonic).

It's an Electron application, which won't be for anyone, but it's sufficiently smooth and snappy for me.

I'm not sure if this would fit all your needs aside from running on Linux but Ampache [1][2] has been around for a very long time and has the ability to mesh with other instances. It started as a small project run by some students at OSU and evolved over time.

Great news! One thing, the 6.0.0-preview1 section of the releases page says the changes are listed at https://github.com/ampache/ampache/wiki/Ampache-Next-Changes but that points to changes in 5.0. The link should be https://github.com/ampache/ampache/wiki/ampache6-details

https://ampache.org/ could be an alternative

Now it's time to make backups of my nextcloud, bitwarden, ampache files.

Ampache. I've been using it for a while and it's great. I'd suggest using it with Ample, as Ample's UI is better. It supports the Subsonic API, so subsonic clients will work with it. It also supports DAAP and uPnP, for other clients. It has it's own API as well, but not many apps use that.

If you're using a local music library, Ampache is really good. It supports docker too. The UI's customizable if you don't like it, they have documentation for theming. I'm not really sure what you mean exactly by spotify integration, but there are settings for spotify API keys in Ampache's config file so it might be what you want.

Ampache has been around for a long time. When it first started at a college I donated beer but they also accept money. [1] I think they would prefer contributions in the form of software development. [2]
