I just rolled some of this out on my setup. I already had lidarr running, but didn't know about the metadata issue.
Beets is running excruciatingly slow importing my music collection. Anyone have any insight on this? I'm running the Linuxserver.io docker container with a very basic config.
Soulseek is new to me and I set that up with a vpn.
Couple of questions about the directory structure: why separate library folders? Can't they play off a central library and wouldn't something like Overseer take care of requests?
Might be worse than Spotify when it comes to privacy but YT Music with Adblock is great. And AFAIK they have better music quality.
Thank you for writing this. The past month I spent some time trying to look for a way to import listenbrainz playlists to jellyfin/navidrome but I was not finding anything. Explo is awesome!
Another tool I discovered yesterday is sptnr, which leverages the spotify API and converts Spotify's popularity to Navidrome star ratings. This allows me to go to an artist and sort by rating descending, which actually becomes popularity descending.
Now I'm using jellyfin mainly because the listenbrainz plugin allows scrobbling favorites, while navidrome does not support this. If anyone knows a way to scrobble favorites from navidrome to listenbrainz I would really appreciate it.
This setup is very similar to mine
