I don't see any mention of UPnP. Is anyone using a set up where they have some kind of headless device plugged in to a hi-fi amp and just want to control it from their phone without switching on another screen?

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.
> Navidrome can work with your folder layout, too. 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.

Navidrome has worked well for me for the last couple years. My collection (~80 GB) is pre-organized FLAC but Navidrome will transcode to MP3 if needed. I use Substreamer on Android to connect to it (Airsonic API/protocol) or the WebUI at home or work. Just the right balance of simplicity and features for me.
How do you tell navidrome to serve "preorganized" flac. That is exactly my case.

AFAICT navidrome doesn't organize anything itself. In your config file, you just say: MusicFolder = "/home/vlad/music" And you're off to the races. The docs even say that this can be a read-only folder, which it is in my case.
On the main docs page it says:
> Navidrome does not support browsing by folders, but simulates it based on the tags with a structure like: /AlbumArtist/Album/01-Song.ext
I don't think I have seen this tag simulation when I tried it around 2 years ago. But in any case, is this good enough? And does it recognize artists and songs from MusicBrainz like Jelly does flowlessly?

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.

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.

Yes, that!
Thanks for the clarification.
Re: Blackcandy: Self hosted music streaming server
#98Perfect! I was looking for a way to replace YouTube music. I’ve been slowly migrating away from YouTube, while maintaining the ability to watch my favorite content creators. I use pinch flat, Jellyfin and audiobookshelf.

With latest Firefox stable on https://demo.blackcandy.org. Is this right?

I don't know what you mean by "recognizing songs from musicbrainz", I've never used jellyfin to be able to compare. In my case, all files are tagged outside Navidrome.
All my players allow browsing by either Album Artist, Artist or Album. My folder layout follows this principle, so I'm happy with that.
But I can imagine layouts which don't adhere to this (classical music comes to mind), in which case I can see how not being able to get to the folders can be annoying.
