This is an underrated feature of Apple Music that few people seem to know about. Everyone I talk to about streaming music is shocked that I use Apple Music, and even when I describe the feature they say "oh yeah Spotify can do that"... but it can't. It seems poorly marketed and quite misunderstood, but I also think most people don't see much if any value in it anymore.

#342I spent a few hours one day screwing around with coreaudio and icecast on my mac and got it so with a command I could redirect current sound output to a stream that I could seamlessly pick up on from my phone. If I added a layer of remote controls you'd get a central streaming service between devices with free hand off.

#343I believe in Murfie. Despite the problems I've been having reviving it, I still believe it is the future of how music should be.

#344I tried to make this after Google Play Music died, but I never found any success. Here's my site. You can try it for free: https://inter.tube It supports almost all of Subsonic (highly recommend play:Sub on iOS). FLAC works. I never re-encode your songs, they are kept byte-for-byte. It doesn't support Last.fm (yet?) but I don't think it would be too hard to add. It respects metadata tags. There are still some glitche…
Quick update: I think uploading might be kinda totally messed up right now. I'll check it later after I'm done with my day job. Sorry everyone and thanks for trying it out. Send me an e-mail if you see any bugs and I will take a look.
New update! Thanks to some helpful new users e-mailing me, I think I figured out what was wrong with it. It was a cache issue (of course). I have disabled the cache stuff for now, and hopefully it should work again. If you have already uploaded some tracks and they didn't show up, they should show up now.

I really like this. I'd say the only thing I'm missing is being able to make custom playlists like Spotify. I think there are plenty of people who still have their own music that might find this useful, but I have no idea how you might reach these people. edit: I may have found a bug? I uploaded multiple remixes of a song and it only shows the original version. I don't see a way to see what raw files are being stored…
I think I fixed the "new tracks aren't showing up" problem. Take another look and let me know if it helps.

#347Earlier quoted context omitted.
This is awesome. Why do you think you never found success with it?
I will go with the home page has a very old-looking/nerd-looking look. Did you ever try to promote it in Hydrogenaudio? Is "the" music enthusiasts forum.
I didn't really promote it anywhere, except I posted on the Google Play Music Reddit I think. I got some good feedback from there. TBH I have no idea how to market things. Not sure how to toe the line between "hey I want to make something cool for you" and spamming. I'll check that out though. I definitely had music enthusiasts in mind, I understand their hatred for re-encoding :)
Re: I don't want streaming music, I just want to stream my music
#348I paid for plex, I stream my own music from anywhere via the callback into my home net. I can chromecast, play in-car, whatever. If I have IP "it just works" Its backed on an RPI-4 NAS I built, running the plex arm linux code. I have another RPI-3 in the living room as a headless music source to an amp. In the past I've used HDMI to VGA+audio splitters to scatter output to devices. This is my music, on my disks, unde…
I wish Plex or Jellyfin would get support for audiobooks. I can keep my music library on my phone but my audiobook library is much larger and sometimes I get an itch to listen to something I don't have on me.

#349Earlier quoted context omitted.
I have not. I tried to be careful about the data, so each user has their “own copy” of the song so it’s essentially a dumb file backup service at its core. I wanted to avoid doing anything that could be sketchy or misconstrued as file sharing. I hope that’s enough but I honestly have no idea.
See Capitol Records v. MP3Tunes ; the courts have got your back.
Wow this is exactly what I wanted to know! Thank you so much. I feel less worried now. This also means I can dedupe files!!
Re: I don't want streaming music, I just want to stream my music
#350I use Jellyfin, it's about the same thing as Plex, but free. I host it on my homelab along with a half dozen other services, and I can stream any of my media from anywhere. There's even pretty nice third-party clients. I use finamp on android, it's specifically a music player frontend for jellyfin, and has options to download your files and play offline. So far, the biggest problem is simply learning how to find musi…
If you scrobble your music the discoverability is covered by similar artists so on through last.fm
