Audioserve VS Booksonic-Air

So basically, I need something like mStream or Audioserve that you point at a folder and you can play the mp3s in it. Nothing fancy, I don't need tags, etc. something strictly folder-based. It also needs the ability to link directly to the file. Mousikofidi does this, but I need something for Windows (I know, I know...) Essentially Apache but prettier.

Perhaps take a look at Audioserve.

Maybe AudioServ? It's a lightweight, directory based, server but I don't remember what the search is like. https://github.com/izderadicka/audioserve

Absolutely, no point arguing over personal preference. If you prefer a folder structure, perhaps look into Audioserve.

I also considered audioserve + app [1], but I did not have the time to try it out.

I did, recently I opened an issue on this: https://github.com/izderadicka/audioserve/issues/59

You should check out booksonic, works pretty well, fully open-source

Booksonic-air may be a good fit, it's directory based, and the search is pretty good. https://github.com/popeen/Booksonic-Air

You can check out booksonic https://booksonic.org/ pretty simple docker setup, its free and works fine with a basic a web ui.

mkdir /home/nginx/Tools/booksonic-air cd /home/nginx/Tools/booksonic-air wget https://github.com/popeen/Booksonic-Air/releases/download/v2112.2.0/booksonic.war chown -R nginx:nginx /home/nginx/Tools/booksonic-air/ /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-18/bin/java -jar /home/nginx/Tools/booksonic-air/booksonic.war -Dserver.port=4141

Getting back to the topic at hand. I looked in the Github project https://github.com/popeen/Booksonic-Air but I couldn't find any documentation for the REST API. Is there none or did I miss something?

I don't know of any app that will synch between different devices but I went ahead and set up my own Booksonic server. This allows me to listen through any browser or through the Android app.
