  • anyway to get entire music library on my phone?
    I would say go with Navidrome and the substreamer app (for Android). I am using Navidrome for a year now with approximately +25 GBs music collection, and it has been a pleasant experience to set up and get used to. Here's the link for Navidrome GitHub: https://github.com/navidrome/navidrome and also the official website: https://navidrome.org. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Specification for smart playlist JSON format?
    I went looking on navidrome.org and through here, but I couldn't find such a document. Have I overlooked somewhere obvious? Source: over 1 year ago
  • Using Navidrome on a RPI3 to host my music collection for DJing so I can listen between sets
    Navidrome (free open source software from https://navidrome.org) is running on the Raspberry Pi 3 which is under my desk via a wired connection with it's own 'http://navidrome.local' custom domain name. This is what it looks like:. Source: almost 3 years ago
  • Is Spotify safe to use? If No then what can I do?
    Navidrome - Lightweight, fast and self-contained personal music streamer. Source: almost 3 years ago
