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.

For jellyfin/Plex you can try downloading everything with lidarr

Only if you are ok with piracy.

Physical media and YouTube via third party clients.

Lidarr also serves as a music organization tool. You can set up rules for folders and how music files should be renamed. It can also apply metadata tags automatically.

Still I think you should point out that it is a downloader

Only if you hook up a torrent client. There's no requirement to do so
