For me, the killer app for Plex is Plexamp, the music client. It's superb, and AFAIK Jellyfin doesn't really have an equivalent (there are 3P options, but they're lacking).

    I didn't try any of them because I additionally set up Navidrome to handle my music collection. But Fintunes, Jamfish and Finamp all look like great music players.

    I have a navidrome server. Nothing, really nothing comes close to Plexamp and its features … sadly … but they all ain’t bad and got the basic stuff right

    What features do you like? Not trying to convince you, I'm just curious.

    Sonic Analysis and the amount of radios like style or mood radio for example.

    I quote Plex here just because I’m lazy:

    “Your Plex Media Server can perform a “sonic analysis” of your local music files to catalog detailed characteristics about the actual music itself. That data can then be used in a variety of ways, allowing you to see sonically similar artists/albums/tracks, play a Track Radio, or even suggest specific mixes for you, based on what you’ve already listened to.

    It’s a powerful tool, allowing you to explore your music library in Plex like never before!”

    It works quite impressive for my library.
