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!

    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.

        A recent JF update broke MA-JF for me, I believe the workaround was to re-enable some legacy auth. I didn’t do that as I updated JF because of a recent security thing, and wasn’t willing to downgrade auth at the time (vuln details weren’t published at the time).

        For now it’s pulling from Navidrome (same media folder/share as JF).

      Worked OK enough for me on desktop browsers, but I’d second the “use something else” for phone playback. My MA is also sourcing from Jellyfin, so I use Finamp for on the go tunage using local caching/offline mode.
