Longtime Navidrome user so that's what I'm comparing this to.

This project looks cool, albeit simple at this point, but what I'd really love is a solution for music discovery for folks who self host their collection.

Is there something that sets this project apart from other easily self hostable tools?

Yes, I'm also interested in this project but Navidrome does a great job alongside Jellyfin and Audiobookshelf. A great trio.

  • Hey @hebocon I've been using jellyfin for both music and movies for close to a year...but keep hearing of navidrome (for music) as well. So, can i assume that you don't really use jellyfin for music, and instead use navidrome for that? How does that work for you? Any issues of interference, etc? I guess if i wanted jellyfin only for movies/tv, i could point it only at the folder where such media is saved, and then separately manage music via navidrome...but wondered what the benefits would be? Genuinely curious if you woiuld kindly share more info about your setup. Thanks! :-)

    • I set up JF for music first, then added Navidrome. I then added Moode for my separate stereo speakers and Home Assistant too. Never had an issue with everything having access at the same time.

  • This is my stack too. Initially tried to stuff everything into jellyfin (and plex before that) but am confident this is the best stack today.
