^ I agree about using a different system for music. Not Plex though for me. Instead I use Airsonic Advanced for music. It uses metadata of course, but also separate libraries; which is exactly what I want from a music server. I have numerous libraries e.g. Lossy, lossless, HD, MQA, family members etc. and Airsonic Advanced is a perfect music server for this. I have it running in Docker and is simple to get running, even on a lowly Raspberry Pi. Client wise, there are many to choose from but I mainly use DSub which works well with Android Auto too - to access my music remotely from my car. I've tried JF for music and I didn't get on with it all and as good as it is for video content I find a dedicated music server a much better choice.
