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.

This doesn't give you anxiety?

Exactly this... It's like throwing your silverware in the draw and then saying I can't find my special knife

That's all I can think of honestly...I have a collection of over 40,000 songs...EVERYTHING is in the proper place/folders etc.... ain't no way would I ever consider my music folder to look like the windows download folder.

That's also how my Linux download folder looks from time to time XD But since I'm on Arch bases distro I try to be more organized and clean-up that Download folder mess !!!
