Quick Start Guide

After installation, the application opens to the main page by default. It appears blank initially because there's no data.

In the settings, you can change the theme. Try this pink one for a youthful vibe.

Before importing music, it's recommended to organize your file structure:

Music/
├── Jay Chou/
│   ├── Ye Hui Mei/
│   │   ├── 01. In the Name of the Father.mp3
│   │   └── 02. Coward.mp3
│   └── Fantasy/
├── JJ Lin/
└── English Songs/

Place your music data here.

In the settings, click 'Sync'.

Return to the home page to see your music.

Click on a song to view its page. While visually rich, it's genuinely appealing.

In the settings, you can adjust the playback music quality (bitrate).

Compared to established music servers like Navidrome and Jellyfin, Beato's advantages include:

• Lighter Weight: Lower resource consumption, suitable for low-memory VPS
• Modern Interface: UI design aligns better with contemporary aesthetics

Final Thoughts

While Beato may not be the most powerful music server, it excels in simplicity and ease of use.

If you just want a clean music playback environment without flashy features, Beato is definitely a great choice.
