Jellyfin, and yes it thinks its very cleaver with mumbling metadata.

I also use Jellyfin. Before being able to set custom tag delimiters, you had to ensure your music artists and album artists ID3 tags were correct. I believe it used a ';' to separate multiple artists. Now with custom delimiters you can set your own. You may be able to try and fix things by setting 'feat.' as a custom tag.
Ultimately, I would recommend just using mp3tag and spending a few minutes setting up an action that replaces 'feat.' with a delimiter, such as a '|'. Run it through your current library and you should be good.
Thank you for the info. I might try this, however I'm already having a 10x better experience now that I've set up Navidrome, and then tried the Symphonium client.
I did this for a while, and only switched back to Jellyfin/Finamp while degoogling (needed for paid version). I thought it was definitely worth it while I was using it. I also listen to music on the TV and Jellyfin handles it better than other options I tried (including side-loading symfonium).
I currently use a separate music library manager on my server to organize my music collection, then Jellyfin just does the server work.
I think you'll be very happy with the setup you are using.
Personally I just run both.
Navidrome is what I would call the daily driver, but since its just a share that JF can also see, for TV playback its JF just like you.
But I'm also a stickler for metadata so I don't often run into issues. When I do see something come up thats not right, I correct manually. Which wasn't happening very often until lidarr had the metadata issue with musicbrainz, though the past few months its been a manual effort.
You can use Symphonium with JF libraries as well.
I almost set up Navidrome but I have TVs and Movies on JF already
Oh, you have 10 random singles in the same directory? That must be an album all from the same artist!
