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?
One major reason why I have Ampache as a separate server is that they support smart playlist, which wasn’t well supported on Jellyfin. Navidrome also supports smart playlist, but you couldn’t edit on the web.
