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.
Just curious, why folder structure? Are your directories not artist/album?
It's
.../music/artist/album/song.flacThis 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.
It can't handle radio shows or VA mixes well either.
Ah, I write the metadata on import in lidarr, so kind of a non-issue for me.
I also switched to gonic over navidrome (even though I liked it a lot) because iirc I couldn't get navidrome to pull Artist pictures in correctly. gonic i could just connect to lastfm and everything worked - and i could still connect to listenbrainz for my actual scrobbling.
Picard or beets will help you with your metadata.
Picard will not, it's possibly the worst thing you can do to a folder of untagged music.
Use kid3, it can use musicbrainz without making a mess of everything.
Picard has always worked pretty well for me. No complains.
You're complaining about a player feature, and blaming the server.
I use Symfonium and Navidrome, and I absolutely can browse my Navidrome library by folder if I wanted to.
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?

See where it says "Files" ?
Yes, can you please demonstrate that it works?

Not sure just how you want me to show it, but this how my music is, on the drive(s)
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.
