Been using navidrome for years, and I'm excited about implementing multi-library support. I have a ton of music and I want to create a personal library that is only a subset of artists from the parent library. I don't want to copy the files (this would be hundreds of GB) so I symlinked artists folders. This works for the most part, however playlists do not. They show up in my personal library but are empty. I'm having a difficult time figuring out my options. Has anyone wrestled with this yet? Thanks!

Okay, I discovered navidrome this weekend and it's what i was looking for as a on-the-road solution so I migrated to it instantly.

But now, at home I use 3 raspberry-pi's (headless units, no X installed) with mpd which is controlled using mpc and/or home assistant. I like it, it's simple, convenient and super lightweight. a cronjob assures music is turned off in the evening, a script polls the joystick from the sensor-hat and a super tiny web gui, all relying on mpc.

Can I use navidrome as a music source instead of the current samba shares? It would reduce indexing of the nas down from 4 to 1 client.

Other ideas are welcome too.

I've used it off and on over the years, getting distracted by fancy new platforms momentarily (sonos, bluesound, etc) and other implementations of the subsonic API, (madsonic, funkwhale, gonic etc.) and tried to let home assistant/music assistant handle it all (not quite ready yet, great for Audio Books/Podcasts, announcements) But for my current setup, i came back to navidrome and it is almost flawless with the stuff i have to play with.

There's someone working on getting the Tempo app back up to par, navidrome + mopidy/subidy is EXCELLENT, and with the MPD extension on Mopidy, Home Assistant can trigger freshly formed playlists, even the Smart Playlists!

I have an old proprietary music player that i flashed debian on, (Autonomic MMS 2a headless) feeding multi channel amp setups ( semi broken/hand-me-down stuff from being in an adjacent industry)

It'd be cool to edit tags on the Web UI, and the same old complaint about not being able to see directories (i did appreciate gonic for that) But my little twenty thousand track library is handled well by Navidrome, and the smart playlists (through feishin so far) are fantastic and already breathing new life into my collection.

I keep perusing the Navidrome and Mopidy docs and that is where i learned that Navidrome links to lemmy for a community, so i figured id come say hey and hardly use any punctuation!

Rock On!

Has anyone found a decent client for FireTv? Everything I've tried is either buggy, crashes, or the interface was designed around mobile.

I have a mix of music in my Navidrome library consisting of full albums, and singles. All of my music is imported with Beets.

My experience with singletons is however not very enjoyable in Navidrome, as they're shown as full albums in album view, and viewing "songs" makes them drown in the sea of songs in albums.

The playlist function in Navidrome is a bit cumbersome, ideally I'd like to have new singletons appended to an existing playlist when importing with beets to keep the process as automated as possible.

So my question to the community - how do you manage your singletons? What advice do you have for me? I see the most recent Navidrome version has support for muti-libraries, should I keep two seperate libraries, one for album and one for singletons?

I would like to build search urls which search for specific songs, albums etc. As the id navidrome uses is not accessible for me, I would like to construct a search url which searches for ID3 tags, e.g. musicbrainz IDs.

https://navidrome.local/app/#%2Fsong%3FdisplayedFilters=%7B%7D&filter=%7B%22title%22%3A%22test%22%7D&order=ASC&page=1&perPage=50&sort=title

This url contains a JSON structure where I can define some fields but I couldn't find a list of fields which are available.

If I could search for any ID3 tag, it would be awesome!

Overview

Navidrome 0.55.0 introduces the highly anticipated Big Refactor (BFR), significantly enhancing core functionalities, and introducing robust new features. This release brings substantial improvements in handling file management and metadata usage and customization.

New Features

• Multiple Artists in Albums and Songs: Navidrome now supports albums and tracks with multiple artists, allowing users to group tracks with different artists under a single album. This feature enhances the organization of compilation albums and multi-artist collaborations.

• Contributors and Performers: Composer, conductor, and other contributors can now be added to tracks, providing detailed information about the creators and performers involved in the music production process.

• Album Versions: Support for ALBUMVERSION tag has been added, enabling users to differentiate between standard releases, deluxe editions, remasters, and other versions of the same album. This feature enhances album categorization and provides a more comprehensive music library experience.

• Multi-valued Tags: Support for multi-valued tags has been improved, allowing users to store multiple values for any single tag. This feature enhances metadata flexibility and enables more detailed categorization.

• Custom Tags: Support for user-defined custom tags has been added, allowing enhanced metadata flexibility and personalized categorization. Learn more.

• Smart Playlists Enhancements: Smart Playlists supports all newly added tags, including multiple artists, contributors, performers, and album versions, as well as custom tags. It also behaves better with multi-valued tags.
  Learn more.

• Persistent IDs: Tracks and albums now use persistent IDs (PIDs), ensuring stability in playlists, favorites, and external integrations, even if your files move or are renamed. PIDs can also be configured to change the way
  Navidrome disambiguates albums and tracks. It is now also possible to group albums by folder, bay setting PID.Album="folder". Learn more.

• Scanner Improvements: Optimized file scanning, with improved handling of file moves and retagging, "watcher" mode for real-time updates, resumable scans and enhanced performance during library updates.

• Improved Handling of Missing Files: Enhanced mechanisms for managing missing files ensure better accuracy and easier troubleshooting. Learn more.

• Beginner-Friendly Tagging Guidelines: A comprehensive tagging guide has been introduced to assist new users in properly tagging their music collections. Learn more.

New configuration options

• PID.Album
• PID.Track
• Scanner.Enabled
• Scanner.Schedule

Upgrade Instructions

1. Backup Database: Before upgrading, create a backup of your current Navidrome database.
2. Stop Navidrome: Ensure Navidrome is not running before proceeding.
3. Replace Binary: Download and replace the existing Navidrome binary with the latest version (0.55.0).
   If using docker, pull the latest image.
4. Start Navidrome: Restart Navidrome to automatically migrate the database schema. The upgrade process will trigger a full scan of your library, which may take some time depending on the size of your collection. While this full scan is in progress, please avoid using Navidrome, as the data will be unstable until the process finishes.
   Please don't report any bugs until this full scan is complete (check the logs)

For detailed discussions and comprehensive insights into this update, refer to
our Big Refactor announcement and the original BFR Pull Request

This is an important security fix. Please update ASAP. A proper CVE advisory will be published soon and will be linked here.

[copied from Deluan's Reddit post]

This is a call for general testing of the next version of Navidrome. Don't do it if you don't feel like trying cutting edge software, things may break. Here are the steps to upgrade.

First things first: CREATE A BACKUP OF YOUR DATABASE (navidrome.db*).

Upgrade to the BFR version:

Docker: use the label ghcr.io/navidrome/navidrome:pr-2709

Binaries for non-docker installations are available here - NOTE: Windows versions are not working at the moment.

Start Navidrome. It will automatically upgrade your database schema, and run a full scan. This may take a while, wait until it finishes.

Profit! If you find any issues, please report them here.

Tempo got another update.

Hi folks. Lately, more and more I have been using Jellyfin to access my music collection alongside my other visual media. Im thinking about retiring my Navidrome server and for that reason would like to transfer this community over to someone who's interested.

There's nothing to do, basically. I did not have to do any moderation here. I will not close this community, if there's no one available, so don't worry. But I think it would be reasonable to have an actual Navidrome user be in charge here.

Shoot me a message, if you're interested. Preferably with a few words on your Navidrome usage.

Hi folks. Some rightwing shithead uploaded an incorrect cover to LastFM for a song in my library. The cover is gone on LastFM now, but my Navidrome still displays the invalid one. There's probably caching in place in Navidrom - but how can I reset this cache? I know I can delete the cache directory, but is there a more targeted way to do this?
