Stretto VS mStream

This being native is super nice!

I maintain an open source web-based music player called Stretto[1]. It works well as a PWA on Android, but it depends on a chrome extension to bypass CORs.

Allows you to import playlists from Spotify and automatically backs them with a YouTube track (similar to this service). Also supports adding SoundCloud tracks, for those that love their remixes.

This blog post is a write-up about the open-source web-based music player I've worked on for the last 8 years. https://github.com/benkaiser/stretto

Checkout my music player, https://next.kaiserapps.com I added basic audius support (you can add audius songs to your library) and it supports offlining songs.

You can find the hosted version of Stretto here: https://next.kaiserapps.com/ (requires installing a chrome extension to make API calls work).

Right now I’m just loading music to the free VLC app on my iPhone. Though I’ve long thought about setting up my own private cloud streaming server via the open source https://mstream.io but haven’t got around to it yet.

I am running mStream. See https://mstream.io/

Generally, I hate the experience of streaming from a service. Occasionally to discover, but youtube's good enough for that.

For me, the greatest unsung innovation was the car USB player. That took it from the 10 CD's or so to basically whatever I want, however I want.

As for streaming my music, I was an MPD user for years, but the client/server experience was often fiddly. Once I discovered mstream (one very good web interface, no client/server separation, honors folders) I never had to look back.

You can give mstream a try

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.
