#2I am both happy to see such a useful software and saddened to see that it's reimplementing tomahawk [0] from scratch.
Let's see where it all leads!

#3Curious. Does anyone know whenever it plays only locally or can stream it further (like to a desktop computer or phone)?
If so, it could be plain awesome. I'm imagining a server in closet that aggregates music collections from various sources and provides uniform interface to play it anywhere network-accessible.

I'm unfamiliar with both. How do they compare, and which would you recommend?

yes, you can access it remotely. mopidy is an MPD server, so any platform that has a compatible MPD client should be able to access it. The docs list a lot of the available clients and their compatibility with mopidy:

The downside that I found to Tomahawk was that I could not select individual songs, only play shuffle mode, at least with Spotify (yes, I have a premium account, etc)

It is unclear to me if tomahawk provides a single frontend or if the frontends are also pluggable. My main use case for mopidy is to allow me to treat Subsonic as if it were a local MPD server instead of using the web interface.
I've written the Subsonic backend, which is available at https://github.com/rattboi/mopidy-subsonic/

We still have a few blockers for proper streaming support. But we are slowly but surely getting closer to have something like that working.

Re: Mopidy – Server which can play music from multiple sources
#9Looks like I have a new weekend project. If the dev or someone who has used this heavily is lurking here:
I couldn't find this in the documentation but is it possible to setup multiple local sources? Would I just setup mopidy on all of those computers? Is there a way to stream them into a single library so I don't have to connect to all of the sources every time I change clients?
Thanks

Part of the reason for having started mopidy was that we wanted something MPD like, but with Spotify support, which at the time was not reasonable to integrate directly.
Now we've evolved quite a bit since then and are now at a stage where we are modular music server, where the MPD frontend is just one of many possible ways of talking to our server. Additionally everything is an extension, so we don't end up like some other systems I've seen where plugins end being second class citizens.
Edit: Other things to note is that at the time we started, 2009, we were not aware of Tomahawk, and more importantly, we wanted a server, not a GUI app.
