Dedicated music server or all-in-one media server? (lemmy.zip)

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 wasn’t aware that the client cached the playlist. That’s pretty great.

    Ultrasonic and DSub(2000) both do. It's so incredibly useful on roadtrips. Works really really well. I have the app live on the as card in my phone and keep the cache at a massive 100Gb, I have all my favorite music stores, in flac, ready to go at all times.
