This looks sort of like a Plex for music, and in a way (if you use some creative thinking) a self hosted Audius [1], neat!

I've been thinking about how I'd do this to ditch my library on what was Google Play Music and is now YouTube Music.

Plex isn’t terrible for music. They have specific music clients now https://plexamp.com/

I just tried it and it was in fact terrible.

I made a Music library and added 10 random tracks. Instead of reading the ID3 tags, it labeled the artist for each of them as "Various Artists" because they couldn't find a match using whatever service they use.

The paid version of plex has much better tagging. I bought it about 8 years ago $75. Well worth it

I paid for it too. My music library is 33.8k tracks. I'm not tagging those.
