Library & Indexing

Namida builds your library from the folders you choose, with a powerful indexer powered by taglib.

Folders Based Library

Add the folders you want, exclude the ones you don’t. The folders tab lets you browse your library exactly like your file manager, with support for cover.jpg style images and .info.txt files for displaying small info. ⚙️ Configure Folders ↗

Artists & Genres Separators

Tracks with multiple artists or genres in one tag get split into separate entries, you control the separator symbols and the blacklisted words. Featured artists in titles can also get their own entry. ⚙️ Configure Separators ↗ 📒 Blacklist Guide ↗

Filtering

Prevent duplicated tracks, set minimum file size & duration, blacklist extensions and respect .nomedia. ⚙️ Configure Indexer ↗

Videos

Full video library indexing & playback, videos can be played independently, with a dedicated videos folder view. ⚙️ Configure Include Videos ↗

Missing Tracks

If you moved or renamed files outside Namida, the missing tracks page helps you relink them without losing stats and listens. Whole directories can be updated at once with ⚙️ Open Update Directory Path ↗. ⚙️ Configure Missing Tracks ↗

Sorting & Grouping

Sort by almost any property of the track or the album. Most pages allow picking more than one sorter and reordering them, so you can sort by artist, then year, then title. Albums can be identified by name alone or combined with album artist or year, and common prefixes like “The” can be ignored while sorting.

Media Servers

Your library is not limited to local files, servers can be indexed too, see the 🎉 Media Servers feature ↗.
