I see that when people ask for music servers, people frequently suggest Navidrome or mpd/mopidy. I haven’t tried either. I’m just using Jellyfin as an all-in-one. I’m wondering why do people choose to use a dedicated music server over an all-in-one like Jellyfin?

Is the extra overhead worth it?

    Navidrome for music, jellyfin for video based media. Audiobookshelf for podcasts and audiobooks.

    Get the best of each one, much better.

    I tried using Jellyfin for music but I found that it doesn’t really handle featured artists that well. Navidrome organizes music much better so I prefer using that.
