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?

beets for library organization, gonic for serving, Tempo for consuming

did you know, that the gonic developer sentriz is developing a beets alternative in go https://github.com/sentriz/wrtag

it works quite well, but lacks a lot of the features of beets

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.

I still use Samba to do everything related to filesharing (including music streaming). I haven't needed to touch my media server in years. It just continues to work. ‍️

Since it's just normal network filesharing, pretty much any music player that has samba support works. On a PC, I like Winamp. On my phone, VLC.

SD Card on my phone. i don't stream it anymore. storage is so cheap now i can easily hold all of my flac files, no problem.

edit don't look for solutions to problems you don't have. most ppl don't NEED to stream everything over the internet.

go back to local.

I have over 3 TB of music. SD cards aren't quite that big yet.

whts yr slsk info? lol

sure, then in your case, if you absolutely must have access to it all at one time, then home streaming makes sense.

for me, and i do imagine most ppl (tho i could be wrong!), it doesn't make sense compared to just returning to local.

genius that i am, i only realized that AFTER i setup a jellyfin server on my home server for streaming my music. XD derp.

I use navidrome. And what's nice about it is, there are 3 people in my household, they can all access that. We all have our own favorite tracks saved in our preferred player, and we can still save a good chunk of them to our phones.

In my case, I have a random mood playlist of 200 tracks that gets updated every morning before I wake up, my phone app caches all 200 of them, so I can play them without network access.

Navidrome with Symfonium for Android and the Web interface or my new favorite Feishin for Desktop Linux

You'll know it when you find it.

Jellyfin.
On the phone it's only usable at home because I don't have a VPN in place.
But I could stream via the web ui which is not convenient.

muahaha.. daw

my library is already tough to sift through.

20,000 mainly flacs and it's still less than 500gb
