#12If you need something even more simple, a no-configuration audio streaming server is here: github.com/fgergo/boringstreamer I wrote boringstreamer to listen to my collection. I start one or more instances on different ports in different directories and connect to different ports similar to fm radio frequencies. (With tailscale I can listen from anywhere without any explicit access control.)

#15Demo doesn't work for me on my Mac (I'm using Safari).

I'll add some chapter to README about this.

#16I like this. Might be a good contender for audiobookshelf. I like the simple design, I like the low level language. Only downside is low number of contributors but I've looked at the author and they look like a real decent person. They have a history of contributing to open source, which is a good sign.
As I'm using audioserve myself, I try to evolve it continuosly, however my view of good simple audiobooks streaming server might be quite optioned (prefer textual information to covers, strong preference of opus codec, etc.), but do not hesitate to share your experiences and ideas via issues on project.

#18Sounds awesome! The missing piece for me is an Alexa skill so I can stream my MP3 audio books to Alexa :)

#19This is really cool. Simple media servers are I think are where it's at. I know lots of people like applications to handle managing their media (a la iTunes) but I really prefer this type of organization method myself...it let me be a lot sloppier with the media metadata while still being able to find stuff in large collections. Being entirely selfish, I do wish audio servers would focus a bit more on what kind of au…
Anything, which is supported by ffmpeg can be considered.

- audiobookshelf requires some rules for directory structure (which caused that some subfolders from my collections were not loaded), audioserve serves any directory structure
- bigger collections - for collections with 10k audiobooks audiobookshelf was just too slow it went on for couple of hours loading before I kill it. Audioserve is able to handle within collections scan in tens of minutes.
