Is there a good self-hosted Google Music like solution? I already have my music on my servers, and would love to be able to just point Linux/Android/iOS clients to it.

Plex ?

Seems way too complex for what I want. But now that I think of it, plugging it into a more complete XBMC setup could be the ticket.

Subsonic is good: http://www.subsonic.org/pages/index.jsp

Honestly though I'd just use Google Music.

Using Google Music is probably the least effort way of going about it. I need to figure out if there's a simple way to batch import from Linux.

Very cool, I've been looking for something like this. I wish I could use an Application-specific Password rather than my full Google password + OTP. But I don't suppose that would be feasible with a Safari wrapper. Also when I first loaded it, it complained about the lack of Flash, but navigating around and playing music worked just fine.

Just curious, why would you want Application-specific passwords? They're far more insecure and still have access to all your Google services. Application-specific password would only make sense if Google actually let you limit access to a certain subset of Google-features.

Because I can revoke Application-specific passwords and they are more limited in that there are a set of settings that they can't change (can't change my email address, change my password, setup forwarding, add more application-specific passwords, etc).

Er, I take back about the Flash and playing music thing. No flash = no music.

IANAL, but I guess you might want to add a big "this product is not affiliated with google" disclaimer on your page?

He's using the logo, trademark and strongly implying that this is either (a) created by Google or (b) sanctioned by Google.

The disclaimer is a waste of time. The guy is acting like an idiot and can expect a cease and desist pretty swiftly.
