Sharing music collection easily? (feddit.de)

What would be the easiest self hosted way to share a music collection privately?

I am thinking of just granting guest access to the nas folder via wireguard or a simple caddy instance but also more sophisticated versions.

It would be good (but not a must) to have a search feature enabled.

Any recommendations?

Subsonic or similar?

[–] mystik@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

Navidrome is another server that works pretty well, implements the subsonic protocol ( so all the apps that can cache and stream to your mobile device work). You can have multiple logins, or just share out playlists and albums individually to non-authenticated users.

Subsonic is perfect for this. Interface is a bit... dated, but the functionality is there.

Subsonic is also a protocol (and opensubsonic) which supports many other clients, if you want. Personally my music collection is just hosted on gonic, a server-only subsonic implementation and I stream it to whatever clients I want.

But use Airsonic instead, it's a fork that's free in both the beer and speech sense.

There's also Navidrome, which is a unique backend, but works with existing Subsonic clients. Check out both, see which one you like better.

I was just about to reply that I liked supporting the developer of the original code and that it wasn't too expensive (I bought a "lifetime premium" for something like $30 USD I think) . But it seems the licensing has gotten ridiculous since then and is now a subscription. :-(
