Comment on Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that

Couple of questions about the directory structure: why separate library folders? Can’t they play off a central library and wouldn’t something like Overseer take care of requests?

At least from my understanding (specifically for Navidrome here), there’s no way to differentiate which user owns which track/album if they’re in the same location. Navidrome’s multilibrary configuration is basically just telling it “hey this folder is this library, that folder is that library”. A combined single folder is perfectly fine if users are fine with that, but in my use case my wife and I have dramatically different tastes so it makes more sense to separate it all out.

  Okay, that’s the answer. I don’t have a problem with having an eclectic library.
