Comments and Reviews
1, +Responsive pages. Good for mobile phones.
2, +It supports transcoding (like 320k to 128k mp3).
3, -No LRC file supported.
4, +Support download (zipped package for playlists, single file can also be downloaded, and you can turned this feature off if you don't want to).
5, +Supports multiple user, supports for public or personal playlists.
6, -Songs can not be added to playlists by realistic folder if you have multiple folders. ( e.g /home/music/songs/a/ and /home/music/songs/b/ ), I put my folder name into "comment" mp3tag. And it can be recognized from "Songs", and now you could add them to playlist.
So far so good.
A great music streaming server and awesome webapp! Even my non-technical family members used and liked it!
Very broken. Can't disable lastFM integration because the program rejects the config. Blank entries means it looks up. Filled a log file. Filled the VM's drive. 10 hours and hadn't scanned a library others did in 15 minutes. A very "our way" attitude over requested features they say they'll never support.
Great UI but overall lousy project.
Lightweight, easy to setup and full-featured. Subsonic compatibility works well. Nothing to complain about.
Ps.: for smart playlists feature, I suggest you'll to check out Tauon. It enables to create smart playlists using Navidrome/Subsonic library.
Best self-hosted music server I tried so far. Much more usable than subsonic/airsonic etc, better metadata handling than Koel. Only lacking smart playlist support, and it will be perfect.
