Media server that can handle large number of media files?

[Host-in-the-Shell]

Before migrating to Jellyfin for music (none of my albums have more than say... 20 songs), I was using Navidrome to host. For my desktop client, I had Feishin and for android I think it was either Tempo or Ultrasonic, can't remember which.

Why did you abandon Navidrome? It sounds quite good for serving music?
Just to have it all in one?
Jellyfin is awesome for video, but I don't like it as much for music.

Same here, like JF, but for music... Well, just seem less of a priority and people just say ah, just use online streaming like yt, spoti...

I have gone all possible routes, but the last OS version of subsonic, from 2015/2016 is still up and running and Ultrasonic app is still developed and just awesome.

A better base for Ultrasonic and subsonic api:

Finamp for JF has become pretty good and has offline downloading, which works well!
So yes, JF development is very active and has a lot of attention, but the music part seems cut short, it never makes any big release notes or road map goals, as far as I can see.

Ups, almost forgot... super fast on large libs, same lib of 2500 CDs take 20min, but +4 hours on JF

My longest running server and hardware! Still love my 5 Squeezebox Touch for their sound and the 3 small Radios for their simplicity!

It all so easy you even forget it's there, sometimes 😊
