So I used Jellyfin mostly for series and movies, so far work great. However I got a couple of audiobooks I want to listen to on my way to work and Jellyfin stop working each time I close my screen. So yeah…
What are you using for music ?

screen of what? Laptop? Phone? Tablet?
it may just be a background permission problem
I e always like Plex/Plexamp but have been using Jellyfin more lately and found Finamp to be pretty solid. I just wash it worked with Apple CarPlay.
Are you asking about music, or audiobooks specifically? I haven’t tinkered with audiobooks so am not sure if that’s handled differently…
For music I’ve been using Jellyfin as the server. On Android have tried a bunch of different apps, substreamer and Symfonium are the better apps. But I also like Fintunes, Jellify, and Resonus.
Fun fact: You can use most OpenSubsonic / Subsonic compatible apps with Jellyfin once you add the Subfin plugin (https://github.com/williamkray/subfin-plugin).
Well besides the excellent options already mentioned by others, there is also Finamp, a Jellyfin music player.
Others have also mentioned Symfonium which can play audio from a Jellyfin server as well, not only from a subsonic one like Navidrome.
Audiobookshelf for audiobooks and Navidrome for music.
audiobookshelf for audiobooks specifically, with Lissen as the android client.
For music, Navidrome with Tempus as android client and Feishin as desktop client, all scrobbling to ListenBrainz.
I dont use Jellyfin, but I heard of some of the things it did and jellyfin sounded like a step above due to its dedicated music app and similar songs for playlists.
I use Navidrome as the server and Symfonium for the mobile app. It is by far the best option I have ever used in the 20 years of setting up a personal server. I used Subsonic before this but it was abandoned years ago and Navidrome is a fork of it. The amount of continuous effort put in and new features that still get released is fantastic. Im always excited when i see a new version drop.
