Users struggle to monitor new music releases from artists in their local collection

The ask

Many music enthusiasts maintain extensive local music libraries. They need a way to discover new releases by artists whose music they already own and enjoy. Current online tracking tools often integrate with streaming platforms, which does not meet the needs of users who prioritize local media. A solution is required that operates independently of streaming services. The software should scan a user's local music directories to identify artists in their collection. It then needs to monitor external databases for new releases from these specific artists. Notifications or a report could then inform the user about new albums, singles, or EPs, helping them keep their music collection current without relying on streaming platforms.
