I’ve started using beets to manage my music library, but it doesn’t work well with jellyfin. As you can pictured, it creates about a million artists off of features(e.g. Artist1 feat. Artist2; Artist1 feat. Artist2 & Artist3;), and this makes it hard to use. I can’t find a way to fix this in beets, so I’m considering switching, but haven’t found any proper alternatives. Do you guys solve this in any way, or use a different management software that is more standard? Thank you!

Other comments are on the right track. You likely need to get your music tagged correctly. From memory, you want the Artist tag to be A feat. B, then the Album Artist tag to be A.

MusicBrainz Picard is great. Especially if your music comes from formally released albums. My issue was having lots of indie playlists/albums. I solved this by having Various Artists labelled in the Album Artist tag (I think).

In that case it’s the problem of jellyfin iirc. Because jellyfin uses “the wrong” artist. Can you select another “artist” tag?

hello, maybe try wrtag which was written to be a faster version of beets. it handles album artists out of the box. it can be configured with the path format syntax to be similar to your current beets config
