I have a mix of music in my Navidrome library consisting of full albums, and singles. All of my music is imported with Beets.
My experience with singletons is however not very enjoyable in Navidrome, as they’re shown as full albums in album view, and viewing “songs” makes them drown in the sea of songs in albums.
The playlist function in Navidrome is a bit cumbersome, ideally I’d like to have new singletons appended to an existing playlist when importing with beets to keep the process as automated as possible.
So my question to the community - how do you manage your singletons? What advice do you have for me? I see the most recent Navidrome version has support for muti-libraries, should I keep two seperate libraries, one for album and one for singletons?

I throw singles into a folder then create a playlist of the contents using “ls > nameofplaylist.m3u”. Wish I could find a better method of dealing with singles but atleast this makes them somewhat accessible. Someone could probably write script to make this more automated.
