Hello!

This question is mainly directed to people who use navidrome or similar software. How do you organize your music library in regards to files? Do you keep them all in one folder? Or folders with author names? Or folders where music belongs based on genre? I can't get the right way to organize my music library, hence this question.

Thanks in advance for all the answers!

Lidarr organizes it for me.

I've tried to use lidarr but I think my archive is too weird for it.

Not only do I have a lot of obscure releases, but I also have things like vinyl and cd rips of every version of every album by certain artists. Like I have a huge amount of frank zappa for example, sometimes I will have 10 versions of the same album, sometimes more. I have collections of the different live variants of many tracks, archives of guitar solo variations ets..

Lidarr has no idea how to handle that so I do it all manually.

Yeah nope for that case. Lidarr can only understand one release at a time.
