Icecast VS selfhosted-music-overview

I'm using icecast2 for that. The only downsides are that it does only mp3s and sometimes it goes mute after a track ends. A short silent transition track should workaround the latter problem but I never managed to make it work. I configured a hotkey to restart VLC on my laptop instead.

My impression is that people use Icecast for this.

Yeah, if you have an old Raspberry Pi collecting dust or something like that, icecast will work great.

Very cool, if you want to go even further with this. You could integrate this using Icecast[1] with Liquidsoap[2] to have a more expansive schedule.

For the client I'm looking at symfonium as it looks like it has android auto support going off of this github list.

Here's a good overview of the feature sets of most of the popular ones: https://github.com/basings/selfhosted-music-overview

The most liked client is symfonium which works with several different server implementations. It appears that its dev also tries to bundle the subsonic power to improve the subsonic implementation and tries to prevent a sea of subsonic forks. I did not research about music servers in a while but I'll check it out and add it to https://github.com/basings/selfhosted-music-overview . Thank you guys for your experience and insights! It's really helpful to see what the people love and hate about their setups.

You can check https://github.com/basings/selfhosted-music-overview to have an idea of the features you can implement. There is also a lot to be done to properly handle multi value tags, artist relationships, etc. Good luck!
