  Do you do an automatic sync or manual drag and drop?

  I use syncthing for my pictures from my phone to my server and I keep saying I will do the opposite for my music but I have not gotten it organized/tagged well enough yet and I keep putting it off.

    I have Plex so it automatically copies selected playlists and such to my phone. Going to be switching to Jellyfin soon though but I’m guessing it has a similar feature.

    I use SyncThing as well to keep certain files and such synced from my server, phone, and tablet. I also sync pictures and video to my server from my phone and tablet.

      Does it pull the playlist data and still stream the music or does it actually make a duplicate copy of the music files on your phone?

        It actually copies the music to the phone, but it’s an automatic caching. As far as I’m aware you can’t access the files directly and the app will handle refreshing/replacing the cache when it gets full. You absolutely shouldn’t use it as a backup of any kind.

    We are stuck in the same spot. Musicbrainz Picard might help? I checked it out but metal genre tags range from simple to way too specific to poorly categorized. Might help you get the tagging done at least.

      Picard works well, I played around with it but it is still a bit tedious.
