I can recommend Navidrome. Organizing of library with Lidarr and (Beets)[https://beets.io]
I’m using Beets for tagging because of the Discogs plugin.
Lidarr for visual overview of the library.
Lidarr can be used for tagging too and it does have a web interface.
Cleaning a messed up library with Beets is tough and depends on how the individual files are sorted. Start importing/organizing a small part or some albums to find out how it works. And a backup of data is always recommend!
I used https://www.blisshq.com/ to organize my music library and it destory my setup moved songs to separated albums and for example one album got splited into separate random folders.
you need to be organised with beet. Import your music one album after an other. use "-t" to be sure that beet is guessing albums correctly. It is lot of work, but once it done it is smooth sailing.
Im looking at beets now but like most solutions, they pucked a subset of id3v2 fields and left out a lot of others.
Do you know is it possible to use beets with missing fields? For example I use publisher and producer and beets doesn't have these fields.
You are right Beets doesn’t allow for custom id3v2 fields.
However it has quite a lot of fields ‘’’beet fields’’’
You can write them specifically using ‘’’-F’’’
(Beets doc)[https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/cli.html#fields]
I’m not aware of a publisher nor producer field though.
Custom field support- TXXX is also nice but I was refering to the id3v2 standard fields. It looks like beets doesn't support most fields actually.
How about composer or conductor for classical tracks or remix for EDM, language, grouping, media type, mood etc.
These tags have been part of the id3 standard for over 2 decades, I wonder why beets choose not to support then.
I read that doc but sadly most fields are missing. I cant see beets being useful for any serious collection without basic field support.
Its too bad, beets looks promising but Linux lacks an open source solution with decent id3 tag support. There are several windows apps (all closed source) that have been around for a long time with very good comprehensive id3 tag support but none foe Linux.
