Jelly Music App is an open source app that turns Jellyfin into a true Spotify alternative
I wondered why this was not integrated into Jellyfin before realising it is a third party front-end app that bolts onto Jellyfin. So you have your existing Jellyfin server with the music on it, and there is an additional docker container that runs for Jelly Music App that connects to the Jellyfin server.
Yes, the UI is better, but it also brings additional features such as the ability to download songs for offline listening. You can save individual tracks, playlists, or albums for offline playback. You can also set the auto-download feature to trigger for any new tracks that you add to your playlist.
It is a bit of a pity that Jellyfin has not been expanding the music side more. I did post a week back about the self-hosted Navidrome, but that is a standalone option, and does not integrate with Jellyfin.
