Feature request
Please add first-class support for Subsonic/OpenSubsonic music folders (Navidrome libraries), with a user-selectable library scope.
Real-world use case
My Navidrome server intentionally exposes three separate libraries through getMusicFolders:
- a large archive of rare DJ sets;
- a normal listener music library;
- my own releases and DJ mixes.
Cassette currently presents all three as one combined collection. That is useful as an All Libraries view, but on both macOS and iOS I also need to browse and search within one selected library. Other Subsonic clients can expose this server-side separation to the user.
Expected UX
- Fetch accessible folders with
getMusicFolders.
- Provide an
All Libraries default plus selection of one or multiple folders.
- Persist the selection per configured server.
- Apply the selected scope consistently to Home, Artists, Albums, Songs, Search, Recently Added, random/shuffle and discovery views where the Subsonic endpoint supports
musicFolderId.
- Keep server-global items such as playlists working normally when they cannot be scoped reliably.
- Clearly show the active folder scope in the sidebar/header, especially on macOS.
Keeping All Libraries as the default would preserve today's behavior and compatibility with servers that expose only one folder.
Current behavior / implementation observation
On the current main revision I could not find a getMusicFolders call or a musicFolderId parameter in Cassette. LibraryService calls endpoints such as getArtists, getAlbumList2, search3, and getRandomSongs without a folder scope, so a Navidrome multi-library server is necessarily aggregated.
Environment
- Cassette for macOS
- Navidrome with multiple libraries exposed through the Subsonic/OpenSubsonic API
- The same account can access all three libraries
This would make Cassette work especially well for curated self-hosted collections where archives, everyday music, and owner-created material must stay logically separate while remaining on one Navidrome server.
