I never expected to be willing to pay for a #music player and yet here we are.
#Symfonium is extremely beautiful, customizable and powerful.
I personally use it with #Jellyfin, although multiple other sources are supported (such as #Plex and #Subsonic)
I really don't mind it not being #FOSS as long as it respects my #privacy and #choices.
@zlendy
I agree!
I tested almost all the Subsonic clients there are,
and Symfonium is by far the best I have used.
very costumizeable, very intuitive and comfortable to use.
many good features and Playlist making.
@sanimalp@zlendy I decided to finally get around to trying #Jellyfin as music server (usually use Navidrome) and #Symfonium as android client after seeing your comments.
It's been a few days and so far, very happy with how it works and syncs and plays.
The real test will be when I try to get the girlfriend to try it and how it works with her phone & car, which can be flaky in a lot of apps hehe.
How's Jellyfin compared to Navidrome in terms of music streaming?
If in both cases you use Symfonium, there should be no difference, no?
I'm using Navidrome and Symfonium, and thought as next step to self host Jellyfin, so I can stream TV shows and movies as well.
and then probably get rid of Navidrome.
@kohelet@daevien@zlendy I don't have any experience with navidrome, but I think your hypothesis is solid. With #jellyfin, I have a mix of +-320kb/s mp3, flac, and opus and it all plays seemlessly next to each other in #Symphonium, both in my phone and through android auto. It's not clear to me what side, symphonium or jellyfin, is doing the heavy lifting of making it play out my car speakers, but it just works so I don't have to care too much!
