## Info
> **jellify** (verb) - _to make gelatinous_ <br>
> [see also](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/jellify)
_Jellify_ is a free and open source music player for the [Jellyfin Media Server](https://jellyfin.org/). Built with [React Native](https://reactnative.dev/), it is available for both iOS and Android.
> _Jellify_ requires a connection to a [Jellyfin Media Server](https://jellyfin.org/) server to work. [See also](https://jellyfin.org/docs/)
Showcasing the artwork of your library, it has a user interface congruent to what _the big guys_ do. _Jellify_ also provides algorithmic curation of your music (not that you have to use _Jellify_ that way). It's designed to be lightweight, and scale to even the largest of music libraries (...like 100K tracks large).
### Background
This app was designed with me and my dad in mind. I wanted us to have a sleek, one stop shop for live recordings of bands we like (read: the Grateful Dead). The UI was designed so that we'd find it instantly familiar and useful. CarPlay / Android Auto support was also a must for us, as we both use CarPlay religiously.
### Recommended Additions
These projects are **not** required to use _Jellify_, but are recommended by us to enrich your Jellyfin music experience!
- [Apple Music Plugin](https://github.com/lyarenei/jellyfin-plugin-itunes)
- Really good at fetching missing artist artwork for obscure / less popular artists
- [LrcLib Plugin](https://repo.jellyfin.org/files/plugin/manifest.json)
- Available in the default plugins catalog
- Really good at fetching song lyrics
- [Jellyfin Rewind](https://github.com/Chaphasilor/jellyfin-rewind)
- Gives a recap of your year in music listening similar to other music streaming services
- [A hosted version is provided here](https://jellyfin-rewind.chaphasilor.xyz/)
- [Spotify Playlist Imports](https://github.com/Viperinius/jellyfin-plugin-spotify-import)
- Imports a user's Spotify playlists into Jellyfin
- Can run as a scheduled task
- [AudioMuse-AI](https://github.com/NeptuneHub/AudioMuse-AI) and it's [associated plugin](https://github.com/NeptuneHub/audiomuse-ai-plugin)
- Performs sonic analysis on your music
- Creates "smart playlists" based on tempo and mood
- [Jellyfin-RPC](https://github.com/Radiicall/jellyfin-rpc)
