For music it seems to be fine on a Pi but it is more for testing than anything. I have Plex on a 2012 Mac Mini which is showing it's age. I don't want to invest in hardware if I don't like the software.

Pi's give a general overview and Jellyfin is working far better on the Pi 5 than it did on the Mac Mini :)
