Open source alternative to:
Navidrome is a modern, open-source music server and streamer. It allows you to host your personal music collection and stream it to any Subsonic-compatible client, including DSub, Substreamer, Symfonium, and many others for iOS, Android, and desktop.
Navidrome is lightweight and performant, capable of handling large music libraries (100k+ tracks) on minimal hardware. It features artist and album browsing, full-text search, playlist management, rating and starring, multiple user accounts, transcoding for bandwidth-limited connections, and a built-in web player.
For music lovers who want to stop paying for Spotify or Apple Music and prefer owning their music, Navidrome provides a polished self-hosted streaming experience. It supports all common audio formats, maintains Subsonic API compatibility (meaning it works with a wide ecosystem of clients), and is actively maintained.
