  • Music Media Manager for linux server (with web frontend?)
    Https://airsonic.github.io/ seems like it might be what you're looking for? Not sure about duplicates, but it can deal with tags and artwork. Source: 12 months ago
  • self-hosted alternative to spotify?
    Airsonic is another choice that I've heard good things about. Installation video via docker here. I believe DSub will work with Airsonic too. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Looking for advice on streaming MPD database over local network to multiple clients
    On the other hand, if you want a single Spotify-esque service from which multiple clients can stream the audio without managing their own databases, there are Subsonic and derivatives which also offer transcoding options. I use Airsonic for this purpose and use it to stream my music collection from my phone via Ultrasonic (available from F-Droid if you use Android). Source: over 1 year ago
  • Is Kodi or any addon able to stream or download media from cloud storage services?
    You should look into one of the subsonic forks. Airsonic https://airsonic.github.io/. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Most private music streaming available?
    What they're talking about is starting up a server so you can stream your own music files. This would involve setting up a server (either renting a hosted server or setting up your own machine) starting up an application like Airsonic (one of many Subsonic compliant applications), finding a good client to use like Ultrasonic (one of many Subsonic compliant clients), setting up domain names and DNS to point to that...

  • Apple Music is the last library focused music service
    Why not just run your own streaming service? You're here on hn, so standing up a webserver (or even a Raspberry Pi) is hardly beyond your means presumably. Subsonic [0] appears to be well polished. I've used a FOSS fork called Airsonic [1] previously, though I've played with (and liked) Polaris [2] in the past. All three would meet your (possibly only) requirement of using your own music, and I wouldn't consider... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
  • Apple Music is the last library focused music service
    It has a "streams" function. I've never used it. I've heard good things about airsonic (https://airsonic.github.io/). I used SubSonic before and I just didn't like the clients that connected to it. AirSonic is based on SubSonic but there's supposedly a bunch of improvements. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
  • Music app that connects to a Nextcloud/WebDav backend?
    Apparently an active maintained (and FOSS) replacement for subsonic seems to be airsonic. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Let's make a definitive guide to the subtle differences in Self Hosted Music Streaming.
    Airsonic, Subsonic: Never used, use the Subsonic API. Subsonic is the original, but is no longer Free or Open Source. Airsonic, which seems to be the most popular fork. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Can your google account get banned if you login to an app after downloading it from Aurora store?
    I learned about an F-Droid app that named Subtracks and I thought it could be useful for you if you still thinking about replacing Spotify. App page says that it uses Subsonic, Navidrome, Airsonic as services. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Made my first network diagram for my apartment
    Https://airsonic.github.io/ it's a media streaming service like Plex for music. Source: almost 3 years ago
