You can run Subsonic on your own server or a VPS.
Thanks for the info. I never really considered running my own but that might be worth doing.
Could this support playing music from S3 and storing/reading metadata as S3 headers? I currently store about 200GB of music in Amazon Cloudplayer, which has recently gone sideways with their push towards Music Prime. I'm currently ripping all my music out and putting it into S3.
That's the problem with the main Music Lockers: they keep integrating music stores into them. All I want is to upload my music and play it remotely.
I've always thought it might be interesting to have apps like this that run locally on web technologies. Is there hope for this model? One obviously shortcoming as exemplified here is the painful installation process. I suspect people are also going to be concerned with what's being installed where.

Congrats on the design, but it's sad to see that once again, the wheel has been reinvented: there once was playdar [0], the content resolver that clearly separated the data that was of interest to the user (artist, song, ...) and the actual sources. Its biggest problem was, I believe, that it wasn't an actual music player. Its gentle folks decided to restart from scratch with a music player in mind, and keep the idea…
>Maybe it didn't spread because it's not a webapp ? I think this is it. I remember checking out Tomahawk a while ago, about the time Songbird announced it was discontinuing development. I ended up just going back to iTunes because it did all I needed (even if it is bloated). If I can install Tomahawk on a computer, I can probably install my music library onto it as well, so I don't need the resolving features it has.…
Also, an Android app for Tomahawk is in the works!
Music in Dropbox? Who keeps music in DropBox's 2GB of free storage? (I'm assuming market who pays for DropBox storage is a lot smaller)
I dunno about you, but I have 18.13 GB of free storage with Dropbox. It wasn't particularly hard to achieve, either.
Of course I now pay for it, only for the packrat feature though.
I once wrote a simple web-based multiplayer music player to test out my roll-your-own web framework: https://github.com/SirCmpwn/staccato You might consider a jukebox mode where several listeners are synced up and can suggest songs.

It's just a PHP file lister and audiojs, but it works on pretty much every modern desktop and mobile platform.
