Can’t download individual songs

Jellyfin seems to have a bug where the album sorting doesn’t work in 10.11.x so I can’t get metadata tagging to apply songs to an album. Real shame that we can’t download individual songs for offline mode that’s the only thing preventing this from being 5 stars!

Please add autoplay for Songs

Awesome app. Just wanted to write this review to hopefully get auto play in the Songs section. Currently when you select a specific song and then it ends, it stops and nothing plays after until you manually pick the next song. If autoplay could be incorporated here that would be wonderful !

Good app small bugs

This is a great app for playing music stored on my Jellyfin server. It works much better than the Jellyfin app for playing music. The main advantage has unlike the official Jellyfin app is that continues playing when you put the phone down and the screen locks. The minor bug is with the off-line mode! It downloads and plays MP3 files perfectly. The problem is I have ripped all my CDs in Apple lossless using iTunes. Unfortunately, the app appears to download these files, but I’m not sure it actually does and it certainly does not play them off-line.

Huge thank you

You are my hero for putting this together. How can we support your work?

Fantastic - but missing features.

Title sums it up. Very useful and great app. However I couldn’t leave a 5 star review in good conscience because there is tons of room to improve.

Metadata is the biggest hurdle to overcome. Once you have all your files metadata filled out, Finamp becomes 75-80% of Spotify, minus the bs that nobody asked for. Using something like MusicBrainz Picard should make this relatively simple.

What I like:
-No ads, no bloat, just music.
-User Interface is beautiful.
-Transcoding support.
-Playlist support / shuffle support, all playback features you would expect from a music player.

However, I feel the following features are missing and would be a welcome addition to Finamp.

-Adaptive bitrate
-controlling other devices playback on LAN also using Finamp.(audio from device one, control on device two similar to Spotify “connect” feature.)
-in app EQ
-song crossfading with granular control, ie 1s-10s crossfading

Otherwise, Finamp is a pleasure to use and is a great self-hosted replacement for Spotify. Thank you for your contribution to the self hosting community.

Quite buggy

Many bugs don’t seem to get fixed.
Oh it seems abandoned.

Great app but…

It’s a great app but still long way to go to compete with Plexamp, it needs Folder search , eq, transcoding only limited to 320kbps etc. I don’t see where to donate.

Close but no cigar

Finamp is brilliant in that it connects to your Jellyfin server. However, the app crashes 20 to 30 seconds into playing any song. If your music player cannot play music, I think it’s time to pack it up.

doesnt play most music

useless

Main feature doesn't exist anymore?

I used to love using the TestFlight version of Finamp, but I upgraded to the App Store version and now all of the buttons to download any music for offline play are gone. The option to downlad simply doesn't appear anymore.

edit: I found it, it's in the artists section still but a bunch of the old download buttons are still gone

Works perfectly! Minor note

It would be nice to have the option to prefer streaming direct on WiFi and transcoding audio on mobile but other than that this is the best music player for jellyfin I found!

Better than the native Jellyfin player

Really good, a lot better than the native Jellyfin music player. My only note is that I can’t seem to put the player in landscape mode at all. Other than that, I appreciate the work put into this!

Basically perfect.

My only suggestion would be to add a donation button somewhere in the app.

Great for music

This is much better for Jellyfin music than using the normal Jellyfin iOS app. It’s a great player for those who need something better for their Jellyfin music library

Good Jellyfin Musicplayer

Finamp is a good Jellyfin music player. As a feature request, please add support for CarPlay and an automatic download of the latest music added to the library.

Fantastic

I love this app and am so glad it exists. I’m only frustrated because if you favorite a song, it’s very unreliable and often doesn’t save that you’ve favorited it. I’ve had more than once where I go through an album and find favorites, only to open the app later and find out it didn’t save any of my work. It would be find if it just showed an error message that the favorite didn’t go through, but instead it just confidently pretends like it worked until later

Güncelleme

Güncelleme sıklığı çok az en son güncelleme 1 yıl önce gelmiş bunun üzerine birçok şey eklendi sanırım github da görebiliyorum ama buraya eklenmediler

Very good

The only feature that I wish on this app is when I download a music folder didnt lost the metadata name and folder organization, but it works very well and no ads
