    In case you thought I was joking...

    mplayer handles filesystem wildcards beautifully. This is playing anything by STP in any subfolder of my main "Music" directory. I use wildcards between words because it's lazier than escaping the spaces.

    I also use Navidrome and I might rip off your setup today. Right now I use supersonic for my client and when I listen to music I like to just play by tracks and randomize it. The issue is supersonic isn't really great with randomization. I've noticed it's not random at all and will follow a pattern. A lot of players are bad with this.

    But for the life of me I just can't find a good navidrome/subsonic client. NONE of the tui's allow you to just play all your tracks and randomize them. it's either by artist, or album, or playlist and I dont' want to throw 6000+ songs into a playlist. I just want to randomize all my music.

    I personally only use navidrome's web UI for full random, or listenBrainz when I know what I want to play. LB's Navidrome integration is brand new so there's some instances where the played track isn't the correct one, although it does help a lot if the track is properly tagged.

    Although I don't like using random really much. My collection is vast, and some albums are really just there to be played every 5 months. That's why I prefer radio that actually recommends my most listened to tracks first, then lesser listened after a while of not listening to them
