Hello!

This question is mainly directed to people who use navidrome or similar software. How do you organize your music library in regards to files? Do you keep them all in one folder? Or folders with author names? Or folders where music belongs based on genre? I can’t get the right way to organize my music library, hence this question.

Thanks in advance for all the answers!

      What if the track/song has multiple authors? What do you do then?

        Cry because the metadata is never right.

        But really this is usually solved with proper labelling of ARTIST and ALBUM ARTIST tags separately.

        @[email protected] In my view, they belong to an album, which might have more than one artist, so the artist name is the combination of all

        Bozzio, Levin, Stevens/Black Light Syndrome/The Sun Road.mp3

          @[email protected] Now, I would love to somehow link that the Levin guy there is the same as the Levin in King Crimson and LTE, but that is more than what I should ask of a filesystem and more like a knowledge graph
