• Not on streaming

  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. Source: 10 months ago

• I don't want streaming music, I just want to stream my music

  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.

• What's yout preferred selfhosted music streaming suite?

  Ampache. I've been using it for a while and it's great. I'd suggest using it with Ample, as Ample's UI is better. It supports the Subsonic API, so subsonic clients will work with it. It also supports DAAP and uPnP, for other clients. It has it's own API as well, but not many apps use that. Source: over 1 year ago
