    Navidrome + Play:Sub on ios and the awesome supersonic for the desktop (https://github.com/dweymouth/supersonic). This is the way.

  • Supersonic 0.8.0 is out now with Jellyfin support!
    1 project | /r/selfhosted | 17 Nov 2023
    Hi everyone! Just announcing that Supersonic version 0.8.0 is out, now with support for Jellyfin servers! For Jellyfin users, or anyone else new to the app, Supersonic is a lightweight but full-featured cross platform desktop music player for selfhosted music servers, featuring gapless playback, ReplayGain, a graphic equalizer, infinite scrolling grid views, and more!
  • Navidrome: Open-Source Software to enjoy your music collection from anywhere
    4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 15 Oct 2023
    Navidrome is absolutely brilliant. It works very well for accessing my library; the configuration options (env vars) also give me loads of customizability.

    P.S. a well-known secret is Supersonic[0]. It's an excellent cross-platform Subsonic client (which works with Navidrome!). It's not Electron-based, either. Much like Navidrome, I've had absolutely no issues with it. Love it.

  • Musicserver that works with folders, not albums
    4 projects | /r/selfhosted | 10 Jul 2023
    Gonic is a Subsonic-compatible server that supports folders, but it has no built-in web UI so you need to find clients that support browsing by folders. My desktop client Supersonic currently doesn't support browsing by folders but I have a feature request to add it - and am looking for feedback on how the UI should look/work!
  • Music Streaming Server that works with folders ?
    1 project | /r/selfhosted | 6 Jul 2023
    Gonic (a Subsonic-compatible server) supports browse by folder, as does Airsonic-advanced. For Gonic you need clients as it has no built-in web client. Symfonium on Android supports folders. Sonixd on desktop does as well, though it's not actively developed anymore (its successor Feishin does not support folders or the Subsonic API). My desktop client Supersonic doesn't support folders yet, but I have a feature request for it. Feel free to thumbs-up the Github issue and chime in on how the UI for browsing by folders should be designed!

  • Supersonic 0.3.0 is out now! - desktop client for Subsonic servers
    1 project | /r/selfhosted | 24 May 2023
    Hey everyone! Just announcing a new release of Supersonic - the lightweight, cross platform Subsonic client! This release adds multi-server support, a filter UI for albums browsing views, sorting tracklist views, and other fixes and improvements!
  • Help: Detect if the speaker port is already occupied
    2 projects | /r/golang | 19 May 2023
    I'm not sure if there's a way to do that in a consistent cross-platform way. But just wanted to say that this is a cool project! And also to mention that I have a GUI music player in Go, Supersonic, that is a client for self-hosted music servers. I use libmpv through CGO for audio playback. If you ever wanted to switch audio backends in your app, I'm open to moving the higher-level interface I built into its own go module, although the low-level mpv bindings it's built on are GPLv3 so you'd need to either relicense Teamus as GPLv3, write a from-scratch mpv binding, or convince the developer to relicense it to MIT.
  • Jellyfin Go client library for music player project?
    1 project | /r/jellyfin | 15 May 2023
    Hi everyone! I have been developing a desktop music player for Subsonic servers for the past several months and I would like to bring Jellyfin support as well! The project is written in Go. I have completed most of the work in my app to make other media providers pluggable, but some quick Github and Google searching hasn't turned up any pre-existing Go client library for Jellyfin, though there are a bunch for other languages. Was wondering if I could be missing one, or if someone who knows Go and the Jellyfin API might be interested in contributing one :) (I would get around to it eventually but I have other feature development in my app to work on and if there were a preexisting client library I could leverage, Jellyfin support could land much sooner!)

  • Plex/Plexamp music tagging system is broken
    1 project | /r/PleX | 17 May 2023
    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.
  • What kind of applications are missing from the Linux ecosystem?
    41 projects | /r/linux | 2 May 2023
    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)!
  • Any way to stream my nearly 2TB library from my iPhone?
    3 projects | /r/musichoarder | 26 Apr 2023
    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.
  • Plex Music Library undid all of my organizing
    1 project | /r/PleX | 21 Jan 2023
    Good time to move your library to something else like LMS https://github.com/epoupon/lms
  • What's yout preferred selfhosted music streaming suite?
    18 projects | /r/selfhosted | 19 Jan 2023
    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.
  • Looking for a good music playlist generator
    3 projects | /r/selfhosted | 8 Jan 2023
    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.
  • Best self hosted service you're using for music?

    LMS - LightWeight Music Server https://github.com/epoupon/lms Super fast with a good set of features. Seems to be well coded in general.
  • Hardware/Software recommendations
    3 projects | /r/HomeServer | 5 Dec 2022
    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
  • Selfhostable / open alternatives to Spotify's recommendation engine?
    1 project | /r/selfhosted | 17 Nov 2022
    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.
  • iPadOS version cannot play songs which Android version can. Both version 6.0.6.

    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
