That's a bold claim. Personally I'm very much liking Finamp (for Jellyfin), it's coming along nicely and it does a great job IMHO, especially its offline mode works robustly. Looking at the feature list of Plexamp, sure, it does have a few more niceties, but it doesn't look like Plexamp is free or open in any way, so I'm never going to run it.

That's great and all, but the quality difference is 100% there and there is absolutely nothing wrong with paying developers to make great software.
Great, so pay the jellyfin devs. The "free" means freedom not price and you are very much encouraged to pay for free software.

Kind of a straw man. I keep seeing this comment, but haven't seen a single person say that there is something wrong with paying developers to make software.
