If you're using Navidrome or similar to stream your music then check out beets-alternatives [0]. It lets you sync (and optionally convert) your library or a subset of it to another location, in my case my music storage mounted with Rclone. It's especially useful if you need to have a different naming structure in your target directory for whatever reason. I like to keep each disc of a multi-disc album in in its own subdirectory but most streaming servers seem to prefer all tracks of an album to be in the same directory. With Beets-alternatives I can have a different naming structure for each collection vs. having to rename my primary collection to suit whatever streaming server I happen to be using.

One of my favorite beets projects is beets-flask.

It lets you set up fully or partially automated import pipelines with a nice web UI to manage any manual steps needed.

Importing is usually as simple as dropping a zip in a folder and the rest is managed automatically.

I've tried many times to find a nice UI for beets and somehow never come across this. It is exactly what I've been searching for all these years... Thanks for sharing!


Nice! Have you figured out how to manage album art with beets-alternatives?
