Why Symfonium?
The best Android music player for self-hosted media. Symfonium connects directly to Jellyfin, supports offline caching, gapless playback, and handles large libraries without choking. One-time purchase, no subscription, no ads — fits the same philosophy as the rest of the self-hosted stack.
The Mobile Piece
Symfonium is how my Jellyfin music library leaves the house. It connects over Tailscale to stream from my Proxmox homelab media server, regardless of where I am.
How it fits
- Car streaming: primary use case, streaming music from Jellyfin while driving
- Offline sync: cache playlists and albums for areas with poor connectivity
- Tailscale integration: streams directly over the mesh network without exposing Jellyfin to the internet
- Library management: browse, search, and queue from the full music collection on my phone
Status
Active: Android music client for streaming from Jellyfin on the go.
