I have chosen jelly over it because of the way navi stores music. I prefer to organize music in folders myself, and tag them with picard. Jelly then just shows everything nicely with 0 configuration.

Navidrome can work with your folder layout, too.

I don't remember why I settled on Navidrome instead of the others, but I basically just told it "here's my music, now go play me something" and it all just worked. As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't manage organization at all.

    Is that recent? When I was looking to replace libresonic I looked at Navidrome and it couldn't do that, and the developer indicated they didnt have plans to add that feature.

    I also settled on Gonic. Mostly for this reason.

    • Do you mean "browse using your folder layout" as in "show that layout in the UI" as opposed to browsing by artist / album / playlist?

      If that's the case, indeed, it doesn't seem to support that.

      I thought you were talking about the actual on-disk organization, like iTunes would import and rearrange the files to its standard.

  • Thats why I choosed Jelly. I do prepare music file a lot, so that is expected, but movies and series I do not and it works great to recognize them 99% of the time.

https://github.com/epoupon/lms is another (Open)Subsonic compatible server that supports directory browsing commands. But actually few clients use them.
