hi, i have tried jellyfin and navidrome, they are both amazing but it is lacking the basic feature of exploring file directory/path. my music library is mostly mixtapes and single tracks, and i have it sorted by the folders/file names for easy access. most of my library is not albums nor do they have the proper id3 tag, jellyfin and navidrome only lets me search my files by artists, album, or song. is there an alternative that let’s you browse the folder hierarchy? for more context, poweramp is the only app i ever purchased because of it’s features and it allows you to play music by searching through the folder hierarchy instead of only playlists and id3 tags. sadly, it does not support hosted media servers

    Hi there

    I also like to able to browse through folders. Luckily for you, it is actually possible in Jellyfin itself! In your administrator dashboard > Libraries > Display (or view idk) at the top, check the first box. This adds an extra library of some sort to your home screen in which folders are shown.

    Hope this helps !
