Great UI, Close to Perfect
Two notes:
- I would enable artist/album artist view for downloaded music. It’s my most used view in other apps, and it’s the only thing keeping this app from being perfect.
- Is it possible to have the #-Z side selection for the artist/album artist view? It makes scrolling through many artists more laborious than necessary.
Edit: just updated, and it wiped out my downloaded collection. Any possibility this can be avoided?

Hey, your data will be restored by downloading 1.6.5 which should be available soon. I apologise for the inconvenience! I will think about ways to implement your other requests.
Would be the best
- change the volume on the fullscreen player, using either the in-app volume bar or your volume buttons
- As soon as I started writing this it started working without any lag so I raised the review one star. This might not be the same for you.
- try to move a song to a different position in the queue
The progress bar has finicky controls as well, but that’s a nitpick.
It would definitely be the best Jellyfin Music app if not for these glitches in the basic things you would want to do in a music app.

Hey, I aware of these issues and plan on addressing them. I was unable to release updates up to a few days ago (I had to verify my trader status), but I will temporarily remove the now playing gradient, which causes these issues (as far as I can tell only since iOS 18 got released), and fix the queue soon. The long term plan is to make some drastic changes ti the way AmpFin is organised and create a custom Metal based gradient, but like all good things this sadly takes time. But than you for your feedback and for recognising the potential.
Good but buggy
Response from developer
I think I found the cause already, it’s probably related to volume changes and I am looking into implementing a fix.
Best Jellyfin Player
How did I only now find this?
Cannot play music via Siri
