Best music player utilizing the Emby Server?

[Tormentor667 16]

Dear members and developers,

since years I am a big fan of MusicBee (before it was WinAmp). So I wonder, what is the best music player that utilizes the emby server as library source?

Best regards,
Torm

Hi, any of the Emby apps?

If you are using Android, you may take a look at Symfonium.

I am using a Windows PC so something similar to MusicBee or Winamp would be awesome. The web interface of Emby doesn't have enough filter options for my taste.

What filter options would you like to see?

I will put another plug here for implementing Album Artist as a universally available filter/sort option. Going into music collection by Genre but with no ability to sort/scroll by Album Artist is a big limitation and frustration.

Well, in MusicBee you have a pretty cool interface with several columns that can be customized to be displayed and filtered. I attached a screenshot as an example, but in general, the following filters would be cool:

Filter/Sort by

• Year
• Album Name
• Artist
• Number of Playbacks
• Rating (1-5, ID3 Tag)
• Song Title
• Length
• Genre

Yes we plan to add tabular views with column sorting and things of that nature.

Awesome, when can this be expected?
