Comment on Recommendations for music-setup?

Music on my server via Soulseek downloads and shares. I share it via SMB share and Jellyfin with tailscale to all my devices.
People often recommend Navidrome but its lack of care for folders irks me.
I have a lot of music in folders, could you elaborate a bit on that? I’m kinda interested in doing something like this sometime instead of copying music all the time lol but if it ignores folders I’ll check another solution

Navidrome exposes the folder structure via the subsonic api, and any compatible app can then display folders if they want. Both symfonium (mobile) and feishin (desktop) have folder support.

Jellyfin respects your folder structure is what I mean!

I’ve tried using collections in Jellyfin to mimic my folders, but it’s not great. Collections are very slow when you get a lot of content in them, plus they only take albums, not songs. Took a weekend to script the stuff in using the API, but wasn’t worth it.
I’ll try navidrome soon.
I see, thank you, I’ve always just used my tree structure as my playlist, as I typically listen to whole albums at once, so I’ve used simple audio players like 1by1 on Windows or Deadbeef on Linux where I can just browse my file system and play music. It seems most things nowadays use playlists

same, tree structure is how I listen and find stuff, ever since my winamp days
