How do y'all deal with music playlists?
I love having full control over my music files, but one of the major pain points is moving between applications. Say I start using plex, get real comfy with my playlists, then one day I decide to try out Jellyfin. Sure, I still have all my music on there, but none of my playlists.
Is there some sorta solution I'm not aware of that allows for migration of playlists across platforms / applications?

Not that I'm aware of sadly
I landed on Plex for music after Groove axed their OneDrive BYOM... before Groove I was pretty much all-in on cloud music services, albeit via bootleg apps using 'private' APIs or scraping (like NewPipe, MyCloudPlayer etc), but disappearing tracks killed cloud music for me.
If/when I do move on from Plex I plan to open up the server's SQLite DB and export all my playlists, which imo might be a bit more involved than most would like
I've been a Plex user for the past 6 years. I'm fairly happy with it, but have always been interested in Jellyfin. From posts I've read in the past, people say it's not as polished as plex. I dl'd and installed jellyfin to my nas yesterday, but haven't had a chance to play around with it. I do have a small-mediumish music library that in the past i've tried several methods (plex, google music [at the time], synology DS Audio] of using the random generator to listen to my music library - with i'm sad to report i found repetative. Just curious about others insights to Jellyfin and how it's worked for them.
I haven't used the random mode on music players in a long while really.
Primarily I listen to playlists via plexamp - once those finish playing, plexamp switches to a 'sonic analysis' mode to auto-generate songs to continue playing (as far as I'm aware). Haven't so far encountered a situation where the same track somehow is always chosen to play.
Moving my movie & TV library to something like Jellyfin would be a no brainer (although I have no plans to do that yet) - however so much has been packed into Plexamp that I'm hesitant to move my music library to another platform with less features just yet
