[Plex/Emby/Jellyfin Not so much for Music?]

So i'm the old guy who keeps all of his music in directories and i've never created a playlist *ever*. I just go fine the song/s i want to play and drag them into my desktop player and play. But lately i've been wanting to stream music and obviously my old-school methods don't cut it. But i'm also not the kind of person who is going to devise 150 playlists. I might have half a dozen - as i don't generally sort my music into genre except for "harder" stuff like old-school rap music (80s/90s mainly) and techno/house/trance mixups. Simply being able to select a genre or artist from the metadata without having to make a playlist would be nice.

 

I've had a bit of a play with Emby for my music collection and i do find it a bit clunky. While i quite like Emby for video - I'm not a huge fan of the interface for music. I see there's a few music-specific Dockers but i don't know anyone who uses them. What's a good starting point? FWIW i have Denon HEOS equipment at home (just one speaker and an amp) but the HEOS app is... well... not fun to use.

 

Pointers from those more experienced than myself are appreciated.

Have you tried Plexamp?  It's actually REALLY good, at least that's what I use on my mobile devices.  I hope they bring it to the TV interface, it's done very well.  https://plexamp.com/
