sonixd VS LMS

Try this https://github.com/jeffvli/sonixd

You can use Sonixd to stream music from your own Jellyfin or Subsonic server.

I've you're still looking for a desktop client, check out Sonixd. Also for both Subsonic and Jellyfin. Best I've found. It stores playlists in the backend and has MPRIS supporr.

Glad you like Navidrome. This information is already in place, just not exposed in the UI. If you use a client that provides this info (Sonixd, Airsonic Refix, DSub, ...) You you see this. Ex: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/331353/212409922-ba5f589f-dadb-449f-a3e9-03065b8ba8e5.png

Cool project! For anyone that’s struggling with chrome tabs and is looking for a good Navidrome client for desktop sonixd is fantastic: https://github.com/jeffvli/sonixd

To summarise what we've gotten to so far: - Jellyfin web can do this using Instant Mix feature, but instant mix is at present pretty basic (see discussion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/jellyfin/comments/o0eic8/what_is_instant_mix_actually_based_on_also_is/). It won't work very well at the level of "Artist" but starting from a specific track or album produces a pretty good mix for some music in my library. Instant mixes can be saved as playlists. - Some Jellyfin apps can do this: especially symfonium (android) has advanced features for making mixes. The only limitation here seems to be saving playlists back to jellyfin server. And if you don't have an android phone and sonixd has a very limited ability to create a (completely, and imho unhelpfully) random playlist. - There are more convoluted solutions. Jellyfin users can try to use Subsonic clients with jellyfin by installing a server shim, but it seems this isn't being developed anymore and I wasn't able to get it running. It is also possible to use jellyfin as an MPD server, so more generic clients can be used here too.

It won't be applicable to everyone, but I want to give a plug to Sonixd[1]: it's a Subsonic client, meaning that it'll work with Subsonic or any other music server that uses the Subsonic API (Navidrome, Airsonic, gonic).

It's an Electron application, which won't be for anyone, but it's sufficiently smooth and snappy for me.

For those that dont know if you add an album that has multiple album artists ( artist 1;artist b) then plex/plexamp instead of showing the album in both artists pages and showing both artist tags as clickable (same way EVERY streaming service is serving music right now) it populates a new artists page named "artists a;artist b". They keep adding trash features that none cares about or even asks and don't even have a basic feature that projects like Lightweight Music Server already have.

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)!

If you're concerned about power usage You can start with just a raspberry pi or something similar running something like Lightweight Music Server which uses a subsonic protocol. Then any app that can connect to a subsonic server like ultrasonic (not sure if this one specifically available for iOS). That's how I started before moving onto Plex and Plexamp.

Good time to move your library to something else like LMS https://github.com/epoupon/lms

I use LMS (Lightweight Music Server) to stream my music to desktop and mobile. It supports the Subsonic API for clients, scrobbling to ListenBrainz, has a nice web UI, and for some reason is the only music server that supports volume equalization with Replaygain.

Not sure if that would fit your needs but https://github.com/epoupon/lms has a radio mode that automatically feeds the play queue with similar tracks. Just seed with some tracks (a whole album, a discography, a single track, etc.) and hit play.

LMS - LightWeight Music Server https://github.com/epoupon/lms Super fast with a good set of features. Seems to be well coded in general.

Hmm, that link shows me my IP address is banned (I assume from the time when the provider I use had dynamic IPs so a whole range is banned). Anyway - is it this? https://github.com/epoupon/lms

https://github.com/epoupon/lms has a built in recommandation engine to help you find similar tracks (in your collection) to what is in your current play queue.

Maybe Substreamer has a problem with a specific server? The server I used is here (open-source): https://github.com/epoupon/lms/blob/master/INSTALL.md
