Ditching Spotify and YT Music (buddyverse.one)

Trying to ditch YouTube Music & Spotify for self-hosted music has been a struggle. I've subscribed to YT Premium today.

Here's how my attempts have gone:

Nextcloud Music (with Recognize): The web UI is great, has all the features I need. Downside: no transcoding and playback through Subsonic or Ampache clients is slow, sometimes causing server issues.
Jellyfin: Streaming works fine, but it doesn't recognize individual artists (my files are in one big folder, so albums are jumbled).
Navidrome: Similar to Jellyfin, artist recognition is off and playback isn't as smooth.

I'll try Plexamp next. What else should I try?

All of my songs are stored in NextCloud.

I guess this isn't what you want to hear... but like others here I'd recommend you organise and tag your music properly. Then software like Jellyfin or Navidrome should work properly.

I use MusicBrainz Picard and have seen people recommend https://beets.io/, which I still haven't looked into.

Beets is great. I've used it for years now

Good to know. Thanks. I have my music in my server, which runs Jellyfin and Navidrome on Docker...

Would it make sense to install it on Docker too or would it be OK install it on my computer and then have it check the music oh my server over NFS?

I don't see why an nfs setup wouldn't work but it could generate a lot of network traffic.

In the end test for yourself if the performance is acceptable and keep a backup
