    That's good to hear, again. I guess I needed to hear it twice. It's just me being old school. So in theory I could just do that and point Jellyfin to my Apple Music folder and have both applications share the same source without having to worry that Jellyfin could mess up files and metadata, right?

    I also noticed that even the scraping part can be deactivated, on an album basis at least ("Lock this item to prevent future changes"). And I could uncheck the scraping options in the library settings as well.

    So I just tried with a couple albums and it seems to work basically but I believe I might miss out on some features if I don't follow the Jellyfin structure.

    For example, iTunes handles files like this:

    Artist > Album >

    Single disc:
    01 Track Name.aif

    Multiple discs:
    1-03 Track Name.aif
    2-06 Track Name.aif

    Jellyfin apparently requires an extra disc folder, etc. So I'm wondering whether or not that might cause any issues.

    Do you have any experience with that?

    Other than that I think I might just take that route. Keeping iTunes running will come in handy for use with iPhones and iPods as well.

    Thanks much again!
