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?

    It’s .../music/artist/album/song.flac

    This does not work with Navidrome if the metadata is weird. I have a lot of songs that Navidrome refuses to even list because their metadata is bad.

    I browse my music by folder structure, not metadata. Folder structure is universal and does not care about inconsistent metadata.

      Yeah… Newer genration are into “put everything in 1 big messed up directory and find all you needs by tags” structure.

      I get the gist, but calling directory structure evil is kinda extreme. It allows to structure your thoughts and if somehow your metadata is corrupted, you still have a directory structure.

      I work on both front for compatibility issues but nothing beats a well thought directory structure!!
