A mishmash of beets and the old ways got me to where I am, navidrome with a bit of mpv & kodi.
I’m currently trying to ignore it and plan to return with a new workflow over the next year or so. Beets will be part of this but also need some python, shell glue and other tools working together, and things are changing at little faster than they once were.
I spent a little time a few months back grabbing NPR and KEXP audio at scale with yt-dlp and having them land with decent tags as navidrome compliant albums and now feel a little more confident incorporating oddities into sacred realm of jazz flacs.
But the one folder to rule them all is still in the planning stages.
Yeah, I’m not about to rush in but I suspect over the next year or so I’ll be letting an llm loose on my old crates to see what happens and MacGyver some sort of Dread Pirate Robot that can run locally and is a frankenstein of beets, plugins and other projects that will eat music and shit albums.
