A Jellyfin music player that feels made for music.
Jellyfin is a great home for a music library. Playwave gives it a player built only for listening, and it works with Emby too.
Coming to the App Store soon. Free with one music source.
Your Jellyfin music, without the movie menus
Playwave signs in to Jellyfin or Emby with your username and password and reads just the music: albums, artists, playlists and favourites. Recently added and most played come from the server.
What works
- Jellyfin and Emby music libraries
- Album and artist browsing, playlists and favourites
- Search alongside all your other sources
- Offline downloads and CarPlay (Pro)
Setting it up
Library › + › Jellyfin (or Emby). Enter your server address, such as http://192.168.1.20:8096, and your login.

Jellyfin questions
Does Playwave play videos from Jellyfin?
No. Playwave is only a music player; it shows your music libraries and ignores the rest.
Does it work with Emby?
Yes. Emby uses the same kind of API and has its own source type in Playwave.
Can I combine Jellyfin with Navidrome or Plex?
Yes, with Pro. Everything lands in one library and the same album on two servers shows once.
Also works with Navidrome, Plex, Subsonic, NAS & SMB, WebDAV, DLNA / UPnP, Files app.
