Much better than jellyfin
11/13/2024

EDITED - This app did have instant mixes, the random playlist feature I thought it didn’t have! Unedited -I tried to use the native jellyfin app to stream music but I found that jellyfin stops playing the music as soon as I leave the app. Major dealbreaker! Good thing this app exists. I love the new UI change in the beta. Though I would love a feature to auto populate a playlist randomly or based on listening history. At least I saw that jellyfin can create a playlist randomly.

Plays in the background!

A Jellyfin music player that actually plays the music when you have the app in the background. This doesn’t work on a Jellyfin web page in Safari, in the Jellyfin app (which is just a web wrapper), and Swiftfin doesn’t currently show your music library. So just for that this is great. Thank you!

Lightweight Audio-Only Media Player for Jellyfin servers

So right off the bat, I commend the team for this side application which I didn’t know I needed before, but fits its singular purpose well. It does all the basic things you would expect an app like this to do.There’s just a couple of issues that make this hard to recommend. First, The downloads do not work that well. They do work, but if you queue up a lot of downloads (say, an album of 100 tracks), the app will go into suspend/sleep mode before it finishes, causing the downloads to fail.Second, and this is a dealbreaker for me, it doesn’t save audio progress position between sessions. If the app hibernates or you close it, you lose any media progress you had. While that’s not a huge deal for music, it absolutely cripples audiobook functionality.And finally, the app tends to misbehave (become unresponsive) if left suspended/hibernating too long, requiring a force close. Annoying, but not a big issue (unless coupled with the aforementioned audiobook issue)

Thanks for the feedback!- I'm working on a rewrite of the download system which should be much more reliable, and will also allow stuff like artists in offline mode- Saving progress is a popular feature request, I should really look into it- I'll look out for buggy behaviour in long sessions, it's pretty stable for me but I've never explicitly tested it

Two huge missing features for me

The app is great, and largely functional, but it lacks the ease of a one tap “download all” function. It shouldn’t require me adding 1,300 songs to a playlist to get my songs downloaded. I also wish I could shuffle play from my list of songs. I have requested this a couple years ago and nothing has been done about it. It really needs to be done to make this a drop in replacement for any major streaming app, as they all have these features!

You can download your whole library in the redesign beta, info on how to join it is on Finamp's GitHub :D
