I'm looking to start selfhosting some music and Jellyfin or Plex seem to be the best options. Anyone wanna help me decide?
Ideally I'm looking for something that will do good job of recognizing and labeling my music. I've got much of it tagged, but some of it isn't, so a system that will recognize music and tag it is a plus.
I'm primarily going to be streaming on my phone (Android) and also in my car via Android Auto, so a good Android Auto interface is a plus.
I'd love to have a "Pandora-like" ability to specify a few artists and/or genre and have the system autogenerate playlists from my library, but I don't know if anything like that exists.
I'm running this off a HexOS server, so Plex has a leg up being that it's a curated app, but I'm not opposed to self-installing an app on the underlying TrueNAS server.
I'm also not opposed to a different option than Jellyfin or Plex is there's something out there I don't know about.
