I see that when people ask for music servers, people frequently suggest Navidrome or mpd/mopidy. I haven’t tried either. I’m just using Jellyfin as an all-in-one. I’m wondering why do people choose to use a dedicated music server over an all-in-one like Jellyfin?

Is the extra overhead worth it?

    I use AIO approach with jellyfin but I’m thinking about changing it.

    I like how jellyfin handles music, but the search feature is unusable with so many files.

    Each time I search for a movie it search through thousands of music files and music people. And jellyfin search feature is bad as it is. I’m waiting for them to fix ot but it doesn’t seem like it.

    So maybe taking music out would make that feature usable again.
