I was hoping to go all in with Jellyfin, but it's been absolutely maddening to try to get it to play nice with my curated library. It just makes too many dumb assumptions about artist metadata.

Any other suggestions?

EDIT: I installed Navidrome, then poured over the documentation for the config file and micromanaged every setting. This has allowed me to get damn near close to the exact unobtrusive behavior I had hoped for.

EDIT 2: AFA mobile client goes, I'd absolutely consider paying for Symphonium, if it didn't seem to require my having a Google Play account (fuck that). So instead I'm trying Tempo.

One last comment on your edit: Tempo is great, and I used that as well, plus it's open source. The symfonium dev is actually pretty cool about helping you work around Google if you want to buy it another way, but it has to be activated manually by the dev on each device. I just didn't want the hassle.

I'd probably go with Tempo if I were still using navidrome since it's open source.

It is possible to buy Symphonium by the developer instead of Google Play

@wesker@lemmy.sdf.org if it helps, the Symfonium dev is open to de-googled licensing via Ko-Fi donations. See the forum post here: https://support.symfonium.app/t/how-can-i-pay-for-symfonium-without-google-play

Per Tolriq's responses there, you can get the APK safely from the Aurora Store.

@wesker@lemmy.sdf.org just so you know there is a fork newly updated of Tempo at https://github.com/eddyizm/tempo
