I love having full control over my music files, but one of the major pain points is moving between applications. Say I start using plex, get real comfy with my playlists, then one day I decide to try out Jellyfin. Sure, I still have all my music on there, but none of my playlists.

Is there some sorta solution I’m not aware of that allows for migration of playlists across platforms / applications?

    Not that I’m aware of sadly

    I landed on Plex for music after Groove axed their OneDrive BYOM… before Groove I was pretty much all-in on cloud music services, albeit via bootleg apps using ‘private’ APIs or scraping (like NewPipe, MyCloudPlayer etc), but disappearing tracks killed cloud music for me.

    If/when I do move on from Plex I plan to open up the server’s SQLite DB and export all my playlists, which imo might be a bit more involved than most would like

      I’ve been a Plex user for the past 6 years. I’m fairly happy with it, but have always been interested in Jellyfin. From posts I’ve read in the past, people say it’s not as polished as plex. I dl’d and installed jellyfin to my nas yesterday, but haven’t had a chance to play around with it. I do have a small-mediumish music library that in the past i’ve tried several methods (plex, google music [at the time], synology DS Audio] of using the random generator to listen to my music library - with i’m sad to report i found repetative. Just curious about others insights to Jellyfin and how it’s worked for them.
