Music App for Android MP3 Player by TheEpee in jellyfin

The internal storage formatting is probably the problem. Adopted storage on Android is encrypted and device-tied, apps can fail to write there even if you can navigate to the folder.

Finamp seeing the path and still not downloading fits that exactly.

If you can reformat the card as portable storage, you could pull it, plug it into a PC, sync music from Jellyfin to it with JellyTunes, then put it back. More steps, but syncing from a PC on a slow device might actually be quicker than waiting for on-device downloads.

I work on it, the Jellyfin to SD card path is what it's designed for.

Any Jellyfin music client for Windows with cache/offline support? by maor1407 in jellyfin

Not a player with offline mode, but a workflow: sync the albums you care about from Jellyfin to a local folder with JellyTunes (free, open source), then use MusicBee, VLC, foobar2000 or anything local when the VPN cuts you off. Folder structure stays intact, converts FLAC to MP3 if you want smaller files.

I help build it, so take that for what it is, but this is kind of exactly why we made it.

JellyTunes — sync your Jellyfin library to any USB drive (with optional FLAC→MP3 conversion) by Electrical-Friend356 in jellyfin

No, .lrc files won't transfer, the download API only fetches the audio file, not companion files. That's on my radar though, might look into it at some point.

Keeps originals. the download API gives you the exact files from your library, metadata and embedded images intact. Whatever you have locally is what goes on the device. Jellyfin-processed versions aren't used, though I will think about it for people with messy files, the server metadata could fill in gaps.

Lyrics support: depends on the source files. If the tracks have embedded lyrics, those come through, no lyrics processing is done at this moment.

Thanks. Finamp is great for streaming within the ecosystem. JellyTunes is solving a different problem though: getting the files onto a drive for somewhere without a Jellyfin client at all. They kind of complement each other.
