Better music management
-
I tried Jellyfin for music in addition to tv and movies, but ended up dropping that part. I set up Navidrome with beets - the adjustment is using album artist instead of just artist everywhere.
Full stack:
- Navidrome server
- beets for management
- Feishin client (local on my desktop, though I do have it hosted too for the hell of it)
- Symfonium (mobile app, abour $6 but absolutely worth it)
- Lidarr
- slskd
- Soularr (integrates the two above - it's a bit hacky but it works fairly well)
I am also using Navidrome and Symfonium. It's about as good as local library playback can get! Thanks for a new one to try Feishin, never heard of it before. I have tried setting up Lidarr, but I never got it to grab stuff and rename it to what i like, so I stopped. I'm sure I probably could, but I didn't want to spend the time trying.
My current setup is grab from Orpheus or redacted, run it through program generically called tagscanner (been using it for years and love it) then drop everything into musicbrainz Picard with custom setup to only grab genres for everything and will attach up to 5 different ones. From there, i move everything to the music library by artist and subfolder for albums. Once there, i load Musicbee, which is my pc app of choice because of the customization and audio playback quality. Once there, if any album art is missing, it's easily discoverable and then loaded into navidrome.
The hardest part was discovering that I should organize properly after a decade of collecting music, and it took months to reorganize and tag everything properly. I had to do that once more with genres. Once I figured out how to automate that and would take chunks at a time and have it do it over days, which also took months. It's been about 10 years of me doing it this way and has worked great if not a bit tedious.

I've started using beets to manage my music library, but it doesn't work well with jellyfin. As you can see, it creates about a million artists off of features, 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!
hello, maybe try wrtag which was written to be a faster version of beets. it handles album artists out of the box (multi valued tags instead of one string with ft. delimiters). it can be configured with the path format syntax to be similar to your current beets config

I gave up on automating it, I download with slskd, and run musicbrainz Picard (import slskd download folder, and set it to always save to the jellyfin music folder/rename with my preferred sorting method). This has the bonus of downloading the cover art, and rarely has issues.

You can automate soulseeked with a script that connects slskd to lidarr.

For music. I use navidrome. It works a load better then jellyfin for this IMO. You can use the same file location for both jellyfin and navidrome if needed.

Tag them beforehand with Lidarr. Works very well for me.

First, I made 'Album Artists' my landing page. 'Artists" includes everyone tagged in the metadata, 'Album Artists' only contains the primary artists. For me, the difference is 350 album artists vs 1412 artists.
I run everything through Picard when I add something to the server. Sometimes I have to change the metadata (for example I hate having an entry for '&' like Elton John & Hans Zimmer and I'll change it so the album is included in both Elton John and Hans Zimmer but theres no entry for them together). But generally it's pretty simple and smooth.
Looks like this:
-
Musicbrainz Picard --> mp3Tag --> MusicBee
- Picard handles the initial tagging.
- mp3Tag handles the clean-up. I like things "just so", and some of the time Picard goes rogue. The Actions function is super powerful for automating "fixing" tags. Oh, and you can cut, filter and paste an entire directory's worth of song tags if you want to bulk remove a bunch of unwanted tags that Picard adds.
- MusicBee is the database. I like the Inbox feature that allows me to do a last check before "promoting" the files to my master library.
There are portable versions of all three, so you can lock a version in your music directory and never worry about updates ruining your tags.
I have the same setup with Picard --> mp3tag, it works very well for me. I prefer to overwrite the artist field with the album artist field for cleaner sync to my iPods with MediaMonkey (iPods handled multiple artists in the worst way imaginable).
Picard did take some light up front tweaking to get the directory naming to albumartist\yyyy - albumname\01 songtitle.flac but it was worth it

Yes, but there's a lot of people that lurk to learn in these forums. So I just wanted to explain it to them.

Not sure if you already know this, but there is a plugin called "Tubifarry" for Lidarr, that directly integrates slskd as an indexer and download client in Lidarr. I've recently switched from Soularr to the plugin and it works really well. In combination with the "Search Sniper" Import List you can still get that random backfill behavior of Soularr.
Here is some general information on lidarr Plugins. You have to use a special branch/image. There's also a link to Tubifarry at the bottom of the page.

Oh shit I hadn't heard of this one. Soularr feels kind of like a hack and is annoying to wrangle, so a direct integration would be huge.

Wow I've been looking for a way to integrate soulseek into Lidarr that wasn't a hacky mess for a while now. This is awesome, thanks for posting this.

I set this up since this reply and it's phenomenal, what a difference compared to the old way. Thanks a ton for the rec
