Came across it while looking into Sendspin. Has anyone set it up? How is it? Use it? Better than Jellyfin?
E: Thanks everyone for the replies, it was informative!
Lacking in intuitive interface and pretty buggy at times, I suspect most that use it enjoy the flexibility it introduces to work with multiple data sources, multiple playback devices, and DSP features to normalize audio.
I just use it as a unified fronted to play music on my office speakers. I have Jellyfin, Tidal and Bandcamp connected as providers.
In my experience the “play on this device” option isn’t very reliable, so I’d recommend keeping a separate Jellyfin if you need music on the go with your phone.
Did you run into any issues while connecting jellyfin? For me it does see the music stored on jellyfin, but when trying to start it it gives an error.
They accomplish different things. Anyway, in my experience music assistant is still a bit underbaked. But I’d love to hear what other people have to say!
Underbaked sounds about right. But it’s powerful as hell. I love having music everywhere all at once. I mostly use it with Navidrome and it works a treat. But using YouTube music is a little touch and go.
