People who use this or something similar (Jellyfin, Navidrome, etc.), what do you use to easily add new music?

Ideally I'd like to automate this to the point where I can look up an album and it gets downloaded automatically, similar to how Overseerr[1] works for movies and series but without the dependency on Plex.

I don't want to easily add music. I am not a hoarder. I carefully check anything new I add to the collection.

But you could use a Nicotine++ for that task easily. It will even auto search from the wish list periodically.

I use Funkwhale, which exposes a nice web UI for uploading new music. Saves me the hassle of manually adding music files to a server, and it also allows for a multi-user setup where users can keep some music to themselves.
