Hi guys I’m looking for hosting own audio server. So far I have run Roon and Plex. Server I want to host is on remote machine and want to stream to iOS, Android TV and Desktop. Would be great if it also would let me organize my library (that part might also be separate app)

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.
