People will recommend Navidrome- but if you're like me then your music collection is organized by folders and not metadata. Navidrome does not and will never (developer said as much) support folder-based browsing.
I recommend using Gonic https://github.com/sentriz/gonic and then a compatible Subsonic client. Gonic has been the simplest and smoothest out-of-house music streaming experience for me.
I've not heard of gonic before. Why choose it over, say, Airsonic or one of the other Subsonic forks?
It's "just" as server, doesn't rely on Java and has seen a release this decade.
Yeah, OK, those are all appealing qualities
Try out beets if you ever want to fix it. It's a pain to setup the first time (make backups for sure) but once you do, it's easy to maintain.
Yeah. Navidrome fucks up your experience. If your id tags are not 100℅ that is.
Folder based music server is the way to go.
Gonic is really too bareboned and really is for low power devices. The better alternative would be Polaris which has a better web interface.
If you have modern hardware (celeron +), Airsonic is the best IMO.
I use gonic with sonixd on my laptops, but probably might move to supersonic from sonixd.
On my phone, Tempo is really awesome!
