Dedicated music server or all-in-one media server? (lemmy.zip)

I see that when people ask for music servers, people frequently suggest Navidrome or mpd/mopidy. I haven't tried either. I'm just using Jellyfin as an all-in-one. I'm wondering why do people choose to use a dedicated music server over an all-in-one like Jellyfin?

Is the extra overhead worth it?

It works pretty well despit having 30k+ music files read over rclone, though I am the only user. It also has a web client, though it looks a bit old. I use Symfonium on Android and Feishin on Desktop since it provides OpenSubsonic API.

thanks for your response!

i had ampache running in docker for like an hour or something but can't remember why i didn't give it a fair shot. i think it was because i was still looking for jukebox mode.

how long have you been running it?

i had gonic for a bit but ended up back at Navidrome as the playlists can be edited by the mopidy subidy extension.

still haven't figured out the smart playlists lol

Definitely more than a year! If you have tried it in the past, you probably dropped it either because you used it before the revival, or the UI looked really old. At least that was what I did.

I build smart playlists for Navidrome with Symfonium on Android or Feishen on desktop, then export to server to get them into Navidrome. I also have been playing around with local AI generating smart playlists with mixed success. The file structure is very simple.

Navidrome just announced plug-ins last release. I think an AI playlist maker would be pretty fun.
