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)
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.
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’’’

I’m not aware of a publisher nor producer field though.
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.
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!

Any opinion on EasyTAG? I’ve been using it for many years and been quite happy with it.
