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?

    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
