Friend's Tapes (friendstapes.com) to follow new releases from my favourite bands and artists when they drop them on Spotify. For now, you got to add artists manually, but Spotify integration is in works so you'll be soon able to choose from your liked/followed artists, too. Source: 12 months ago

Try friendstapes.com as an alternative solution to get new release notifications? It's not built for Tidal specifically, and tracks new releases on Spotify, but I guess artists drop new music on all streaming platforms simultaneously.

No need to use the server, Navidrome allows any client to connect remotely (WAN included) and play music that is hosted on the server.

I use picard for my collection. My work flow is Picard > Lyrics Finder > Foobar for BPM, RealGain and DR > Custom python script to pull genre and mood from Last.FM and spotify> then Advanced Renamer to perform naming clean up of folder names.
