- For
- iPhone listeners with a Jellyfin music server
- Worth noticing
- Its three cassette interfaces have distinct behaviors: one tracks reel speed, another splits headphone volume by ear, and the Sport deck responds to tilt and shaking.
Field notes
The site gives practical setup guidance for Jellyfin, including a step-by-step Tailscale guide for listening away from home. It also describes library-derived mixes such as Forgotten Favorites and On This Day, plus a Year in Review with a month-by-month chart. These are presented as product features on the homepage; the extracted evidence does not verify their availability in the beta.
