gonic VS selfhosted-music-overview

Gonic seems to be the most active fork of Subsonic that supports browsing via folders, but there's no Windows support. I'm considering running it via Docker on my Windows server but haven't had a chance to look into the pros/cons of that. Curious if anyone here can shed some light on this for me

I've always thought of that one to be more useful when e.g. using gonic, which comes with out a web interface (and seems pretty awesome overall, although I have never tried it myself since I'm quite happy with Navidrome).

Just wanted to give quick plug for my music player app Supersonic! It's a client for Subsonic API-compatible servers, so it handles the UI and playback while the server (Gonic or LMS would be good lightweight choices for localhost-only setup) handles the library management/metadata indexing. It's a quite young project but I have lots of plans for continued improvement and new features (and would gladly accept contributions)!

In the past I've used Airsonic, Gonic, Plex, and Jellyfin. Just for a bit o' variety

i would say it's a bit experimental, but you could try gonic (subsonic jukebox mode) + snapcast

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!
