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.

You want beets to organize your music https://beets.io/

You want to use the musicbrainz database

And you want to scrobble your plays to listenbrainz.

You will serve your music however you want. Navidrome is one of the best, you can't go wrong.

Navidrome does not take car eof tagging. You have to make sure your music is tagged properly. You can also use other software for it that uses beets under the hood. Someone shall chime in and suggest the best app for that as beets isn't end user friendly.
