I would love to seed (and cross-seed) my music library, but metadata tagging and renaming fucks the files up. How do I set up qBittorrent and Prowlarr to keep seeding after retagging?

Only way would be shenanigans with copy-on-write and deduplication; when it's done seeding, copy it elsewhere on the same filesystem (which will use no space and be instant, because it's just making a pointer to the original). Then make your modifications to the new version
