Anyone know of a good Android client for music on jellyfin? I’m currently using finamp but would like a client that works with Android Auto and can sort/filter playlists

    Like the other guy said, Symfonium is the one and only true answer.

    Quick rundown of features:

    • playlist sorting
    • smart playlists (auto generated by filters)
    • fully customisable now playing screens
    • fully customisable home menus
    • casting via UPnP (think sonos, any other wifi enabled speaker ecosystem)
    • stats tracking
    • scrobbling to your tracking service (listenbrainz, lastFM)
    • transcoding support (depending on server - jellyfin cant but navidrome transcodes perfectly)
    • smart queue
    • personalised mixes
    • radio mixes
    • downloadable media for offline play
    • track / album rating system
    • favourites

    Symfonium does things that no other media player I know of can do, for example:

    I try to rate my music as i listen to it and while I do that, every song i rate 5 stars goes to an automatically generated playlist of 5 star music only. From there it auto downloads to offline cache in OGG OPUS 320 format to keep quality and reduce space used (My library is all FLAC).

    From there I have created a playlist that incorporates the 5 star playlist with some other parameters to create an even larger playlist which, you guessed it, is all automatically done for me.

    Now I could have a bunch of these playlists combined in different ways (rating defined, mood defined, genre defined, BPM defined) and I can choose to either shuffle them when pressing play, start a personal mix which uses your stats to alter the queue of the playlist or I could order the whole thing by increasing BPM or year.

    It is an incredibly powerful tool to listen to your music and I will never be able to go back to spotify playlists or any sort of algo picking what I listen to.

      Forgot to also mention:

      • full equaliser compatible with thousands of preset profiles for whatever headphones you have
      • android auto
      • programmable default actions (like touching a song either plays it or queues it)
      • multiple queues - each time you manually start a track / playlist a new queue is created and you can swap back and forth between queues as you wish.
      • ACTIVE DEVELOPER!! - Tolriq the dev is always updating it and very active in the community, they just want to make the best music player possible
