Fast, user-friendly, and feature-packed. Allows me to add to up next as well as the end of my current queue. Has support for easily switching audio and airplay devices. And even shows the full specs of current song (filetype, bits, kHz, etc.) right under the playback bar. As a user with bot lossy and lossless music in my library, this was an amazing surprise. Plus, the developer appears to be active in the community and eager to keep building. Absolutely recommended.

Thank you, though still way to go I think. Especially for desktop experience, so stay tuned!
Best Jellyfin Music Client
Bclaps02
I’ve tried almost a handful of different iOS music clients for Jellyfin and this is the best so far. My favorite feature is the amount of control I have with the queue.Features I would love to have in the future are: A button for Remove from Playlist when clicking the three dot menu on a song inside a playlist. And a way to see which playlists a song belongs to without checking each playlist.
Developer Response
Thank you very much for details on why you like Discrete! I will be improving queue control further with exact 'insert into' feature in coming months, so stay tuned. Removing items from playlist can be done by swiping and from menu which opens by tapping 3 dots... Not sure why you didn't find it, maybe try to scroll menu which opens when you tap 3 dots on tracks in playlist. Finding which playlists a track belongs to is a cool idea, added it to backlog!
Now THIS is what I like to see!

Coming from several different music players in the past, this one right here, simply put, is the best one I have used with Jellyfin so far. It actually feels polished and premium. Best of all, it doesn’t randomly crash with my buggy network. I wish there was a way to sort songs (“Tracks” section) by song name rather than being stuck under artist name. Unless I missed an option?
Developer Response
Thank you very much for these words, they mean a lot to me! I’m really happy when people notice all the little details I managed to polish. All tracks is quite fresh screen for Discrete, and I will be adding more both sort and view options to it, but that’s not easy on large libraries. Can’t give ETA for this, but stay tuned!
I’ve tried most of them…

Discrete is so far the best. I have been using JellyFin for about a month. Other apps were good but had significant flaws (bugs causing no album artwork, download issues etc.). Discrete handles me needs the best. Looking forward to future updates and plan to purchase lifetime member soon.
Developer Response
Glad to hear it works well. Stability, ease of use and good looking are main priorities for me. Feel free to contact me in case of issues or just for giving thoughts on possible features. There's navigation redesign coming which will allow next pack of features to be fitted in, so stay tuned!
