Rankings and alternatives

Self-hosted music servers scores

Evaluated Nov 8, 2026 Evidence ↓
  • Setup 4

    4/5 means: One packaged program, with ffmpeg or its libraries required for a full install or a source build

    Docker images and Debian Trixie amd64 packages are documented. A source build needs a C++20 compiler and ffmpeg 7.1 libraries.

  • Players 3

    3/5 means: The Subsonic or OpenSubsonic API, without naming phone apps

    The README documents Subsonic and OpenSubsonic support and a web interface on port 5082. It does not name phone apps.

  • Catalog 5

    5/5 means: MusicBrainz identifiers, release groups, and named artist roles

    MusicBrainz identifiers, release groups for remasters and reissues, and artist roles including composer, conductor, and producer.

  • Playback 4

    4/5 means: Transcoding and one other listening feature, or scrobbling to two services

    Last.fm scrobbling and ListenBrainz scrobbling are both listed. The pages checked tie ffmpeg to the source build and do not document per-user transcoding.

  • Recent release 5

    5/5 means: Within the last month

    v3.82.0 is marked latest. The releases page says it was released on 05 Nov and does not print a year; the page was captured on 2026-11-08, so this score treats that date as 2026-11-05.
