I didn’t need a web client and Gonic shows the actual directory layout for the folder API. I have a few albums that requires gapless playback and most web players can’t accommodate them. My music library layout is mostly ‘collection/album-key/track-key.ext’ where album-key is something that uniquely identifies the album and make it easy to search for. For my main collection it’s’artist - year - album’ while for others it can be just ‘year - album’. Gonic shows the same layout to clients.
I think the folder structure like browsing is the main reason to ditch navidrome...
While I get the point, this is not an issue for my use case.
What I would love to see though is a "sync playlist to path" button in the web interface where it keeps the original folder structure. With this i could create partial lib dumps for my car usb stick or my family members. Maybe i submit an issue for this.
