Have you tried PlexAmp? And, are you doing music entirely through the base Jellyfin app? Interesting to know you prefer the music experience on Jellyfin.
I prefer music/audio on Plex & PlexAmp, with one caveat. They nerfed music on Plex (regular app) and there’s certain platforms (Nvidia Shield) that don’t support PlexAmp, so it kinda sucks in that one specific case. But PlexAmp works great for my phone and desktop/laptop (although i use foobar for my desktop to play local files).
PlexAmp also has some nice UI/QOL features like their “artist radio” stuff and “shuffle recently added music” type things.
Jellyfin music is much more barebones / build it yourself. I haven’t dove much into it because the jellyfin naming conventions to auto tag media don’t vibe 100% with my library so it’s a mess in some spots and i haven’t manually fixed it all yet. My music library is large and this would take a while. Plus PlexAmp works great so I don’t feel a need to do anything with it yet and i don’t mind running both systems on my server.
I prefer jellyfin for video, not audio. But only local network for me at this time. I can VPN into my home network for jellyfin but why bother if Plex streams remotely fine and I’m usually watching on a phone or tablet anyway so quality doesn’t matter. But i swear jellyfin video is higher quality than plex video but it’s probably not and I’m just biased lol
