Navidrome has worked well for me for the last couple years. My collection (~80 GB) is pre-organized FLAC but Navidrome will transcode to MP3 if needed. I use Substreamer on Android to connect to it (Airsonic API/protocol) or the WebUI at home or work.
Just the right balance of simplicity and features for me.
if not for the work requirement, at 80gb you could likely do what I do: use syncthing to make there be a full copy of the files on your phone. I've got a media terminal, my laptop, and my phone each keeping each other up to date. it's never broken or been frustrating. it works offline perfectly.
Hmmm... I could. Substreamer let's me mark albums and playlists as "offline access" so I have something local. That works well enough.
Syncthing for photos is awesome. When I cut-paste on my desktop they are removed from my phone too.
How do you tell navidrome to serve "preorganized" flac. That is exactly my case.
AFAICT navidrome doesn't organize anything itself. In your config file, you just say:
And you're off to the races. The docs even say that this can be a read-only folder, which it is in my case.
On the main docs page it says:
> Navidrome does not support browsing by folders, but simulates it based on the tags with a structure like: /AlbumArtist/Album/01-Song.ext
I don't think I have seen this tag simulation when I tried it around 2 years ago. But in any case, is this good enough? And does it recognize artists and songs from MusicBrainz like Jelly does flowlessly?
