Thank you.
It is strange to me that the developers themselves would tell me that this wouldn’t work, and that folder browsing requires Navidrome to support it inherently for clients to be able to do it.

Yes, can you please demonstrate that it works?

I’m complaining about what the literal developer of Navidrome told me when I asked about this. I’m not sorry for believing him.

Can you show me a screenshot?

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.

Gonic for server, Ultrasonic for client (android)

I would use Navidrome if it supported browsing by folder structure, but they refuse to implement it. My metadata is so scrambled it might as well not exist and it would take months to fix it. I pretend it doesn’t exist, because I don’t use it.

That type of captcha already exists. I don’t know about their specific implementation, but 4chan has it, and it is trivially bypassed by userscripts.

You bitch at me for being an ideological puritan and then ask me if I’m pure enough by your standards. Did you miss the part where I said I like what he does?

Ultrasonic caches too much, on my phone. It has a limiter, but for some reason ignores it. Once a year I have to go and nuke the whole app because it’s using all 120 gigs available 🙃

I like what he does and that he can rally people to a cause, but he consistently misses the mark.

In order to escape the corrupt bureaucracy of New York, he moved to… Texas.

I think he’s a ‘path of least resistance’ kind of guy, not ideologically driven but rather “I don’t wanna deal with it” driven. He has deemed that it is easier to move to Texas because the corruption there affects him less directly and more abstractly, and he chooses to front Right to Repair because it is easier to lobby and rally people than it is to work in his industry without his political influence.

He has a front row seat to the horrors of capitalism and, without missing a beat, says “I’m not a socialist, I’m a capitalist” because it’s easier to be a shitlib than it is to believe in something bigger.

Louis Rossmann is not the smartest cookie in the jar, but he is a cookie, at least.
