I'm using MusicBrainz Picard for tagging my music library and I'm not unhappy with it. Yet, sometimes it feels a bit clunky and I'm wondering if there are other good tools out there. What do people use? What are the major pros of these tools? Let's collect some recommendations here. I'm Linux based, but for the benefit of others don't restrict yourself!

Not strictly Navidrome news, but related. Version 3.5.0 of my favourite mobile subsonic client app was released. It delivers some new features (like filtering downloaded items by track, album or artist), several bugfixes and a full german localization.

You can download it from Github releases or IzzyOnDroid.

I can't seem to make Thunderbird (supernova, flatpak) work with mailto links from my browser. The system handler correctly launches Thunderbird, but then, after a short wait time, a dialogue appears:

"Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To use Thunderbird, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, restart your device, or use a different profile."

If I do close down Thunderbird, then it works. But I'd expect to be able to have Thunderbird running.

Any ideas what's wrong here?

I've been using substreamer to access my Navidrome server from my android phone initially but I just came to learn about Tempo, which is also a nice app. What I like about substreamer among others is the option to let it download fanart from an external source by itself bypassing navidrome. There might be more nice apps, so I'm curious what you folks are using on your mobile devices.

I've noticed that I cannot play radio stations that I have added to Navidrome. The player just shows a cycling icon and the radio won't start playing. Looking at network activity, I could see the browser complaining about CORS issues: it cannot deliver content from a third-party domain. It turns out the issue is known and there should be a fix available in the next release: https://github.com/navidrome/navidrome/issues/2267 .
