Hi guys I’m looking for hosting own audio server. So far I have run Roon and Plex. Server I want to host is on remote machine and want to stream to iOS, Android TV and Desktop. Would be great if it also would let me organize my library (that part might also be separate app)
I would recommend something compatible with the subsonic API, because some clients are great, and there’s always one decent for every major platform. That leaves us with:
depending on how much configurability you need and how many resources you are willing to throw at it. Navidrome is still quite crashy, though, while airsonic ticks like a clock.
Had for years airsonic, later airsonic advanced. The overhead is huge compared to Navidrome.
Had never an issue with Navidrome and it is much snappier. No even starting to talk about the modern interface compared to Airsonic.
Airsonic is a Java-server app, so it takes a lot of memory because it’s optimizing for high-thoughput and high-load. You can customize the JVM settings to make it much leaner! (but not as much as navidrome, sure).
Regarding the UI, I generally don’t play my music in a web-browser, but I get the sentiment :)

I’m pretty confident it does it better. Navidrome is a very young reimplementation of sub/airsonic after all…

Yeah, I’ve never had an issue with Navidrome.

Your friends will comment on interface when you share music to them :)
Hardly using the UI myself ;)
Good point!
