I’ve started using beets to manage my music library, but it doesn’t work well with jellyfin. As you can see, it creates about a million artists off of features, and this makes it hard to use. I can’t find a way to fix this in beets, so I’m considering switching, but haven’t found any proper alternatives. Do you guys solve this in any way, or use a different management software that is more standard? Thank you!

    I have the same setup with Picard --> mp3tag, it works very well for me. I prefer to overwrite the artist field with the album artist field for cleaner sync to my iPods with MediaMonkey (iPods handled multiple artists in the worst way imaginable).

    Picard did take some light up front tweaking to get the directory naming to albumartist\yyyy - albumname\01 songtitle.flac but it was worth it
