what symfonium does better.
if your music lives on a plex, jellyfin, emby, subsonic or kodi server, symfonium talks to it, caches it, syncs playlists and casts it to chromecast, upnp and dlna. it also runs on wear os and android tv. it is the most flexible player in this comparison, and it charges once for that.
what kleos music does instead.
kleos music has no server, no account and no cloud — just the files on the phone, played through a click wheel. it is free, under 10 mb, and the lyrics it has fetched keep working with no connection.
two ways to own your library.
a home server and a phone full of files are both ways of not renting music. symfonium is the better tool when the library is bigger than the phone; kleos music is the lighter one when the phone is where your music lives.
