A horse is better than a car in many aspects:

• eco friendly fuel emissions
• built in gps, FSD, and autopilot mode
• naturally low maintenance
• built in companion
• traffic jams are a breeze

If you’re using symlinks, you should definitely check out Stow.

But… but then you’d have to make them 0.01mm thicker.

Everyone knows all you have to do is in plug it and then plug it back in.

Jellyfin if you do not like being spied on by your self hosted media library. Plex if you do like being spied on by your self hosted media library.

Also - Plex if you want Audiobooks, because the app Prologue is 🔥

This is exactly it for me too. I’m definitely going electric in my next vehicle, but it definitely isn’t going to be a Tesla.

I’ve tried Audiobookshelf and it just wasnt for me. I hadn’t used Beet with it, but my issue was never really the organization part, more the playback part. I can’t remember exactly what features were lacking in ABS, but I do remember being disappointed in it. To the point where I spun up a dedicated plex server JUST for my audiobooks, and to since then, I’ve been incredibly happy with the UX.

I didn’t know that beets supports books. I used that tool like… honestly at least a decade ago to organize a giant music library I had, and it was a great tool. Thanks for sharing!

Also, I just wish Jellyfin supported audiobooks in the same manner that Plex does. Then I’d be back to one media server running.

If I remember correctly, I think I’ve read there is an Android equivalent. Prologue is pretty flawless.

I only still have a plex server running for audiobook support with the app Prologue. Everything else is happy in Jellyfin and and has been rock solid. Plex went way to corporate and it creeped me out.
