Hey folks,
I’m using since years subsonic to stream music to my mobile device. Subsonic and it’s known alternatives like Airsonic aren’t really mainained though and some existing bugs are frustrating. Can you recommend me a good alternative to stream my own music collection to my mobile device?
Thanks! Checking it out right now!
I am using Navidrome and if it has significant bugs, I haven’t run into them yet.
Navidrome uses the subsonic API but is actively developed and works great.
Ok so I just installed Navidrome and the web UI looks modern and promising. However it seems to have the same bug as other services I tried earlier: If the artist name or album name has any umlaut letters (like ä, ö, ü) then all tracks on that album are displayed twice on my mobile client (have tried substreamer, ultrasonic, tempus). Any idea what’s causing that for me?
I don’t have any solution for you, but I’m just adding some information to the conversation; I use Gonic as a server and Ultrasonic as a client and it does not have any issues displaying umlaut or any other special characters.
I heard of Navidrome, never used it. Jellyfin works as well.
The client is maybe more inportant, can recomment Symphonium.
Navidrome checks all my boxes. I don’t seem to have the same issues you are having with umlaut letters tho. I’d check tags/metadata. MusicBrainz, Mp3tag, Foobar2000, Beets, can help with that.
https://lyrion.org/ happy with it after trying both navidrome and jellyfin
I’ve been using Finamp for a few months now. I like the beta version that allows me to download music to my phone for offline use. I added Audiomuse and I really like the smart playlist creations. 10 outta 10
That’s the one.
Mainly jellyfin and I have a navidrome backup
I use Jellyfin with the Symfonium mobile client.
Navidrome is popular but does not support multi-tags for some fields, like artists.
Moved from subsonic to jellyfin, never looked back. Jellyfin does music and movies and TV shows, the only bit I miss is jukebox mode
Nextcloud has an app called Music which contains subsonic and ampache servers.
