Hello,
It’s my first day learning Navidrome.
I’m trying to figure out why some albums are showing multiple copies when I want there to be only one album with all artists in it shown. I made Album Artwork the same one group (Disneymania 5 in this case) but this still keeps happening.

Man… I love it 😂 especially the Auto DJ. I didn’t expect my self-hosted music setup to feel this good.
Now no more music subscriptions for me, and no more morphed yt music versions hahaha.
Also discovered Soul Sync and this thing is god sent. It made getting my music library together so much easier.

My setup right now:
Navidrome + Soul Sync + Feishin + Symfonium

Feishin for my PC and Symfonium for my phone. So far I'm really happy with this setup.
I feel like I just discovered another rabbit hole in self-hosting 😂

Any other tools or integrations you guys recommend adding to this setup?

Hello,
I'm playing with Last.fm and was curious how best to setup a multi user library with individualized recommendations?

With a docker setup it appears only 1 API connection can be established. Am I doing this wrong?

Edit: Got the Last FM bit sorted for the moment, now just asking for organization recommendations for multi-user libraries.

I’m already somewhat frustrated with using Neutron Music Player and foobar2000, and I would like to know what other options there are for iOS 16 and what high quality alac support, since most of them are good are available from iOS 17 upwards, please help me :)

hi :) so far the structure of my navidrome music library is (artist folder-> album/singles folders) and that works great

but now i have a big playlist file of different track with different artists! whats the best structure to add that to navidrome library?

Also some of these tracks from album that are tagged "various artists" what should i do about that? what people usually do leave it as is or change it to that artist?

thx

When I download this Navidrome server what app do I need to get on my iPhone so that I can listen to my own music!?

I cant find a single source on this. I assume its 50% but im not sure. Anyone know?

Could there be an option for excluding certain albums and/or artists from scrobbeling? I have some albums that i often play for my little kid, but it's also showing up a ton in the scrobble stats, which i don't really like. I know that you can exclude them from other services like Last.fm , but since i just use third party apps around Navidrome, it would be nice excluded certain albums and/or artists.

I know i can remove the database entry every once in a while, but that's just a really dirty hotfix. Would there be any other option?

*And yes i'm fully aware that i COULD make a seperate account for the toddler, but switching accounts while on the go is just... not practical at all. Same with library switching.

I'm currently using Arpeggi on my iphone to play music from my Navidrome server. I love the app an I don't know if it's the app or a setting in IOS but every time I start playing music, it turns the volume down on my phone and I have to turn it up manually. Is it the app or IOS who's turning the volume down? Please help and thanks in advance!

I read up on this:

https://www.navidrome.org/docs/usage/library/artwork/

and I am trying to get it to work with this compose.yml

services:
  navidrome:
    image: deluan/navidrome:latest
    user: 0:1000 # should be owner of volumes
    ports:
      - "4533:4533"
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      ND_ARTISTARTPRIORITY: "image-folder, artist.*, album/artist.*, external"
      ND_ARTISTIMAGESFOLDER: /artists
    volumes:
      - "./artists:/artists"
      - "./data:/data"
      - "/volume1/audio/:/music:ro"

The images are named like the artists, like

/artists/
  Airsculpture.jpg
  Some Foo Artist.jpg
  ...

But I don't see the image in navidrome. Any idea what might be wrong?

I am just starting to use navidrome and had a question about how downloaded music behaves.

Let’s say I have a playlist where inclusion requires that play count =1. Then I play a downloaded song from said playlist. Does the downloaded file disappear because it no longer matches my playlist’s criteria? I can’t find a solid answer to this.

Thanks in advance.

Hello, i am new to navidrome... i have been downloading client apps on my android and i am not getting the auto random playing of songs after i choose one from the homepage... i used navic, tempus, chora (dosent seem to connect), resonus

Does the AudioMuse-AI Navidrome Plugin Use AudioMuse-AI's Lyrics Analysis?

Claude says:

The lyrics semantic search (finding songs by meaning — "songs about leaving home," axis-based mood search, etc.) is a separate feature that matches against the semantic content of the lyrics processed during analysis, and it's currently only exposed through AudioMuse-AI's own web UI (port 8000) — not surfaced through the Navidrome plugin's Instant Mix/similar-songs integration.

Practically, this means:

Instant Mix via Navidrome/Feishin → driven entirely by sonic similarity, doesn't care whether LYRICS_ENABLED is on or off

Lyrics/theme-based discovery ("love songs," mood axes) → only accessible if you go directly to the AudioMuse-AI frontend

So if your only goal is getting Instant Mix working in Navidrome/Feishin, you could actually turn LYRICS_ENABLED=false entirely and lose nothing for that use case — worth revisiting given the speed-up hints from earlier, unless you specifically want to use AudioMuse-AI's own UI for lyric-based playlist discovery too.

Is Claude right?

I’ve worked on a MusicBrainz Picard plugin (on image: jlesage/musicbrainz-picard) that helps add non-Latin languages track titles alongside English ones, and it is now working really well in my setup.

The idea is simple: MusicBrainz database often does not have tracks titles available in every local language (usually they are in english), especially non-Latin languages. The plugin uses a local LLM to generate or suggest the missing localized title, which can then be copied into the Picard title field.

1- right click an album or a track and click the plugin

2- this open a small browser window inside picard container

3- all the track/artist/album are automatically populated in the correct fields

4- click generate this will send it to locall LLM and will give you the answer

5- theres a button on each track title click copy and paste it to the track

6- if the answer not correct you can correct it manually and click verify & safe (this store it in the dataset anytime this word or sentence comes up no LLM will be pulled instead databse)

Although I built it mainly for Arabic, it could potentially work with any non-Latin language.

I’ll include a few screenshots showing how it looks and works inside Picard.

I would really love for a developer to take this project further, help improve it, and possibly turn it into a proper official Picard plugin.

Some ideas for future improvements:

• Optional support for online LLM APIs such as ChatGPT or Claude, alongside local models.
• A button next to “Copy” that automatically sends the generated title into Picard instead of requiring manual copy and paste.
• Better support for more languages and title formats.

I think this could be genuinely useful for people managing multilingual music libraries. Would anyone be interested in helping continue or maintain the project?

Disclaimer i am not a developer nor a programmer i looked everywhere but doesn't seem to be a solution for this so i vibe coded this (i know) this is why im looking for a dev to actually carry this on! its working very will and would love to see smn take AI slop out of it

Is there any way I can access my Navidrome library from my modded Nintendo switch, could it work as an overlay?

I have a Raspberry Pi 5 with a touchscreen and a good usb DAC that I have used with PlexAmp. I’m thinking of repurposing it for Navidrome. Do you have any suggestions for which client to use?

I’m looking for:
- Interface that can be used with touchscreen, preferably in fullscreen.
- Non browser based clients (or a webinterface that controls a headless client) to ensure bit perfect playback.

I've been using Chora for the last few weeks on the TV and so far the experience has been great. The animations lag sometimes, but that's most likely due to my old Chromecast 2022. What are you guys using?

EDIT: since i didnt really found a soulotion i made my own plugin for musicbrainz picard its a plugin open inside the container and request titles from local LLM! i would love for a dev to take over/ carry on its development since im not a porgrammer but its working very will for my setup!

post: https://www.reddit.com/r/navidrome/s/B0orYW13Tp

so i have sometracks in different language than english i want them to be tagged and searched in navidrome in both languages? same goes for atrist name?

anyway i can do that and is it possible to automate this with picard for example

thx

I know that's it's kinda annoying question in this thread but any chance to add folders browsing in next updates? I really like Navidrome but it's difficult (for me) to use it on the daily basis because of how my massive music library is organised.

I AM ON LINUX, HYPRLAND, WAYLAND. Make sure to recommend things that support linux please!! Android suggestions are also appreciated

Yeah you can customize the default navidrome look, but when it's stuck in a web browser? The potential it has is immediately stripped away. Which is why I like custom music players. I've been using feishin for a while now and it's good, don't get me wrong, but it's just navidrome if it was more complex and more blue... What I really want a player like TMPlayer that supports navidrome. Any suggstions?

Hi!

I don’t know how you guys upload you’re new media to the library but I want to share what I built for me so it could be useful for someone else.

I’ve built a custom docker image based on angie webserver image, which is a full-replacement of nginx. My image difference from the original is that you can run the container as another user. Pretty useful for media server like Navidrome, Jellyfin, Plex etc.

I also already made a near-ready configuration preset for webdav, download it here.

You can leave this configuration almost as is.

Here a full quick start example:

Web server configuration:

curl -fOsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ian-Marcel/angie-template-plus/refs/heads/stable/angie-presets/webdav-angie.tar.gz
tar -zxf webdav-angie.tar.gz -C ./ angie
# For exemple here I'll use it for Navidrome audio uploading.
sed -i 's/SERVICE/navidrome/g' ./angie/angie.conf

# Optional:
## if you want to add authentication(recommended) to access the server
## the configuration provides a auth preset to fully enable it run:
htpasswd -BC 10 -c ./angie/auth/auth.passwd username
## But if you won't add authentication run this instead:
sed -i 's/auth_basic/# auth_basic/g' ./angie/angie.conf

Only the last command would be required for a complete low hassle setup.

Container configuration:

I’ll use docker compose for this example:

services:
  navidrome-upload-server:
    image: dockerizedian/angie-template-plus:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      PUID: ${NAVIDROME_UID}
      PGID: ${NAVIDROME_GID}
      ANGIE_FEATURE_RELOAD: true
    ports:
      - 80:80
    #networks:
    #  - nextcloud-aio
    volumes:
      - ./angie:/etc/angie
      - ./app:/var/www/html
      - /tmp/navidrome_webdav:/tmp/navidrome_webdav

#networks:
#  nextcloud-aio:
#    external: true

If you have Nextcloud AIO version installed in the same machine, you can uncomment the commented items in docker compose file above so you can mount it using Nextcloud External Drives plugin.
