Note that it is a $12.49 subscription, or $829.99 one-time. So you really need to love its featureset.
That's some serious price. If you're a professional music maker and need top-of-the-line audio production software, Ableton 12 Suite is ~600 EUR, and that's for making music, not consuming.
I tried this (among a bunch of others) about a year ago and landed on Gonic[1] for the server and Supersonic[2] on PC and Amperfy[3] on mobile. Yes it's a few different tools to maintain (plus beets etc), but it's the ideal set of features etc for me. Self-hosting has been fun and I've started experimenting with local LLMs to build playlists which is helping discoverability.. or more /rediscovering/ artists that I ha…
Why did you chose gonic over navidrome[1]? My stack [2] is: navidrome (music - subsonic server) substreamer (app) beets (music organization) EAC (audio cd ripping) audiobookshelf (audiobooks) Most important part of navidrome are smart playlists[3], with these I didn't need AI support just yet... 1: https://www.navidrome.org/ 2: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40470630 3: https://github.com/navidrome/navidrome/is…
I don't use my car that often but when I do I want to be able to access my music library. Right now I'm stuck with Plex and Prism on iOS because other solutions are not good in that regard as far as I've seen in my testing.
I'm about to use my existing jellyfin setup. Amy advantage here over jellyfin?
Fwiw I ended up using Navidrome m as a server, beets to manage metadata, and play:sub on mobile.
Longtime Navidrome user so that's what I'm comparing this to. This project looks cool, albeit simple at this point, but what I'd really love is a solution for music discovery for folks who self host their collection. Is there something that sets this project apart from other easily self hostable tools?
Yes, I'm also interested in this project but Navidrome does a great job alongside Jellyfin and Audiobookshelf. A great trio.
The UI looks nice but it doesn't look like there's CarPlay support unfortunately. I don't use my car that often but when I do I want to be able to access my music library.

Most self-hosted services metadata is only as good as the metadata on your audio files. I think using something like MusicBrainz Picard or beets to tag your media well is required, along with making sure that all files of a given album are in the same folder. (Plex has what seems like strict file naming conventions for music, but really all you need to do is make sure each album has all its files in one folder). If y…
So here is my question, or one of them, as someone starting this whole journey: exactly what metadata do you want outside of artist, song title, album title? Because I can see there's a lot to be had. Embedded album covers, subgenre tagging, synchronized lyrics ... hyperlinks to Discogs and MusicBrainz, maybe? Tempo in BPM? Key? ID3v2.3 or IDv2.4? Can you even do that to FLAC? And where do you get that metadata, usin…

I didn’t need a web client and Gonic shows the actual directory layout for the folder API. I have a few albums that requires gapless playback and most web players can’t accommodate them. My music library layout is mostly ‘collection/album-key/track-key.ext’ where album-key is something that uniquely identifies the album and make it easy to search for. For my main collection it’s’artist - year - album’ while for other…
While I get the point, this is not an issue for my use case.
What I would love to see though is a "sync playlist to path" button in the web interface where it keeps the original folder structure. With this i could create partial lib dumps for my car usb stick or my family members. Maybe i submit an issue for this.
I love self hosting useful apps. I wish finding more things was easier. Right now I self host a jellyfin server and home assistant. When I learned a subscription for home security was $75/mo I said “there has to be something out there” and there was. I pay the developer their $6/mo even though everything works without it. Jellyfin has been amazing for physical media backups. It’s nice to experience old VHSes and DVDs…
