This is one of the great things about the *arrs. They will create a hardlink to the file in your media folder structure so that you can keep seeding and have a well organized/named media library without wasting storage.

Prior to that, I also just saved my torrents directly to my media library, and used the torrent manager to rename the local file properly. Same thing effectively, just a lil more work.

No, I wasn’t doing any pre-processing other than “properly” formatting the track name and folder structure. So I can’t really blame Jellyfin, because I know that tagging is part of the best process workflow. But I’ve just found Navidrome seems to be a little more hands off.

I’m not the person you were replying to, but the only issue I ever had using Jellyfin for music was that it seemed.a little finicky about matching artist/album when pulling down metadata, and I had to do more manual intervention.

The actual streaming functionality seemed perfectly fine, but I personally settled on Navidrome for music.
