I have calibre and calibre-server in my Synology NAS. Recently I found a huge library (~500 GB) and want to add it to my existing library. I can of course switch to that library but I'd lose my existing books.
I've seen many posts about merging libraries using the Calibre GUI, but I don't have that available.
What is the best approach? Should I add the books one by one? If so, how? Is there a 'bulk add' command?

Thanks in advance
