I was hoping to go all in with Jellyfin, but it’s been absolutely maddening to try to get it to play nice with my curated library. It just makes too many dumb assumptions about artist metadata.
Any other suggestions?
Jellyfin, and yes it thinks its very cleaver with mumbling metadata.
be Jellyfin see a track in an album with a “… feat. …” artist tag
“This must be a completely different artist than the album artist!”
create somehow fucking immutable new metadata
I also use Jellyfin. Before being able to set custom tag delimiters, you had to ensure your music artists and album artists ID3 tags were correct. I believe it used a ‘;’ to separate multiple artists. Now with custom delimiters you can set your own. You may be able to try and fix things by setting ‘feat.’ as a custom tag.
Ultimately, I would recommend just using mp3tag and spending a few minutes setting up an action that replaces ‘feat.’ with a delimiter, such as a ‘|’. Run it through your current library and you should be good.
Oh, you have 10 random singles in the same directory? That must be an album all from the same artist!
I still use Samba to do everything related to filesharing. I haven’t needed to touch my media server in years. It just continues to work. 🤷♂️
beets for library organization, gonic for serving, Tempo for consuming
I use Jellyfin but I download all my songs from Tidal, Qobuz or Deezer and tag them automatically right then and there in a clean format so Jellyfin does not have to guess at all.
I also have some automatic checks in place to convert incorrect metadata to a proper format. Like moving artists from the title (feat. Somebody else) to the artists tag Somebody; Somebody else and a bunch more.
Together with Finamp on desktop and mobile everything is pretty much working as expected.
Gonic works very well with symfonium
I’m using airsonic with symfonium, gotta check Gonic (it’s been mentioned twice in the comments)

Navidrome

There really isn’t any decent alternative. I can run 4 Navidrome servers along side each other using less resources than a single copy of the alternatives. It just works and does almost everything you could want.

Another vote for navidrome. I tried substreamer on android ibdid not like the search. I use symfonium easy interface let’s me randomize in many ways.
On a side question anybody have suggestions for automatically creating genre based m3u files? I would like to setup “radio” like stations but adding my music to a playlist.

Filter by genre tag to make the finding part easier?

Agree with Navidrome. Works great in browser and the Substreamer ios app.

+1 for Navidrome. As simple as pasting the album into the directory and it sorts the rest. I use subtune on my phone to access it and it works great.

I tried their demo, and I really dig the minimalist approach. Might give it a shot.
