I recently opened TinyMM on Manjaro and was pleasantly surprised to see that the rendering bug that almost makes TinyMM unusable is gone.

I'm setting up a new media server and the *arr suite of server apps handles video extremely well. Tagging is not an issue. I wish the same was true of music files.

I have a lot of compilations and my album art is always named after the album. This causes huge, unnecessary issues with the handling of metadata in all the music manager apps.

So I've been using these three apps side-by-side for a couple of weeks while I massage my music metadata with MusicBrainz Picard to

1. put compilation tags on all compilation files

2. put "Various Artists" in the Album Artist tag

3. delete unnecessary disc tags and track totals

4. copy my album art files over into cover.jpg or folder.jpg files

As far as graphical music managers, Jellyfin copes with poor metadata better than Navidrome and I like having music in the same app as video. However, graphical music managers waste a lot of screen space and browsing around requires a lot of clicking of the mouse. That's why I like Strawberry, one of the better of the iTunes clones. Strawberry can also edit metadata, but it appears to add zero valued disc tags when editing and this drives Navidrome crazy. So I stopped editing metadata with Strawberry. I use Jellyfin music when I know what I want to listen to. I use Strawberry when I feel like browsing around heavily.

I fix my album art with the file browser by opening the mis-named jpg file and saving it as folder.jpg for compilations and cover.jpg for single-artist albums.

(My environment is Synology apps with no dockers and two different linux distros on my laptop and my TV computer.)

I offer this experience to be helpful and solicit your ever-useful replies and thoughts.

I'm using radarr with qBitTorrent and Jellyfin on Synology 7 with no dockers.

There is a configuration option in radarr to auto-delete the torrent sessions on qBitTorrent when the session has completed its service ratio, but it doesn't seem to happen after waiting several days.

I deleted the sessions manually in qBT with no ill effect on radarr and Jellyfin.

Has anyone seen radarr auto-delete torrent sessions?

I have Jellyfin on Synology and access via a browser is exactly what I want.

I process my movies and TV shows with TinyMM on my computer and then transfer the folders to the NAS, where Jellyfin flawlessly displays all the metadata, including posters and thumbnails.

OTOH, my music files are apparently slightly messy (or else Jellyfin doesn't do music well). I processed all my files with Musicbrainz Picard and lidarr, but Jellyfin still can't always display the single jpeg in the folder as the album image. And it treats all the artists in my collection folders on the same level as album artists, making the lists quite long and messy.

Any advice on processing music metadata for Jellyfin and getting Jellyfin to only display album artists in lists of Album Artists?

Migration Assistant wants to copy everything and I can't use Shared Folder Sync because the old NAS is on DSM 6.x. I could use my laptop, but I would like to copy directly if possible. Is there a way?
