A personal music streaming server that works

People who run this or something similar (Jellyfin, Plex, Navidrome, etc.), what do you use to easily add new music?

Do you just log into Lidarr, or are there music players that have a nicer integration for this?

I buy music on Bandcamp, and copy the files over with SMB/Samba/network share.

I make playlists on TIDAL and then download the playlist. Or favorite albums and whatnot, and download them.

I pull music from a wide array of sources (Bandcamp, yt-dlp, etc.), drop each album or release in its own folder in ~/Music, run beets on those files to clean the metadata and consolidate into V0 MP3, then rsync the beets library over to a VPS running Navidrome.

Took a fair bit of scripting and config to get beets working as desired, but the process is pretty close to perfect, and scales well into the terabyte range.

I just have a Samba Server running as a second docker container and also expose a ytdl service for quick youtube -> server imports
