What is Astiga?
A music streaming service for your own music. You can call it your own private Spotify.
Simply upload your music to a cloud storage service of your choice and connect it to Astiga. No matter whether you use Google Drive, Dropbox, WebDAV or your own media server, you should be able to stream your music through Astiga.
Astiga supports a plethora of cloud storage services, including Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Amazon S3 (and S3-compatible providers such as Wasabi or DigitalOcean Spaces), Backblaze B2, FTP(S), WebDAV (like ownCloud, Yandex, Synology) and SFTP. If it exists, it is probably supported.
Additionally, Astiga also acts as a Subsonic server, allowing you to use Astiga with Subsonic apps for Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Windows, macOS, Linux and more. We have our own native Android app too!

Comments and Reviews
It is your own personal music library, you customise it suit your preferences and all the music is yours - it cannot be removed or edited by commercial companies. The sound quality is perfect and it works wherever I am.
Astiga was the missing piece for me to be able to enjoy my music from any device without the hassle of running a server myself! I keep my music library exactly where I've always kept it in Google Drive, and Astiga makes it trivial to stream my music on my phone and my laptop.
The cool thing about Astiga is that can read files from various sources, I happen to use Google drive to store my music, but Astiga is an agnostic player, it does not care where you keep your files. Forget trying to use Spotify or similar, they have severe restrictions regarding lockers, location and access. Google Play had a good system but that is history now. I had a problem recently with Astiga (I tend to overthink issues) and Dan, the author, quickly and patiently helped me solve the problem. The player has a slight learning curve but a minuscule problem in light of the app's main feature, that of reading most any depository. I have zero regrets in using Astiga.
Thanks @qpackard - if you get the time, could you drop us a line to info@asti.ga about what introduced a "slight learning curve" - if you can remember? Maybe the storage account setup? Or is it the look-and-feel of the player? Or something else?
It is just the look and feel. I have been too well trained by Spotify and Google Play and unfairly judge similar ideas by their implementations. Mine is a first-world problem. I intend to keep Astiga, I will not look elsewhere.
I started using Astiga when Google Music folded, which was a several years ago, and I have been very happy with it. It lets me play my own carefully tagged music collection from anywhere. I originally tried out Astiga because it lets me just stream from the cloud, rather than having to set up my own server or something like that. So if you have your own music library that's already backed up on the cloud anyway, I think this is the perfect service.
Indispensable app for me, loads my cloud backed up classical music database sorted by composer work performance. Other services don't support the folder based structure and load effortlessly from cloud. I use it daily to listen to my music collection at home or on the go. It downloads and caches tracks so you can always prepare some if you won't have Internet.
I'm an opera fan, and have thousands of hours of music that I want to organize by genre, composer, artist, and other attributes. Astiga connects to my personal library and lets me take control and stream it anywhere. No one else does this -- the others all act like I want shuffled songs, and not complete works that take over 3 hours to listen to in the right order. Can't use anything else.
Awesome experience!
