Subsonic works well enough, if you ignore the fact that it requires Java, frequently corrupts its own database, doesn't properly cache certain file formats on the client side even though it sends transcoded files (this one is inexplicable to me), and has many other strange quirks. Worst of all, though, is that it bills itself as free software, but requires activation after a short period of use, and patches to circumvent the ransomware anti-features have been taken down (not sure why tho). Recently, the pod catcher has been crippled and made ransomware as well.
A good replacement would be welcome.
- CaptSpify 11y agoHave you looked at ampache? I switched to it because of everything you just mentioned.
- mintplant 11y agoI could never get any of the Android apps for Ampache to work.
- CaptSpify 11y agoThe android apps are kind of terrible. I use ampache-provider and just-player and it gets the job done. It's not a great solution though
- pervycreeper 11y agoAppears to be compatible with subsonic apps, too.
- pervycreeper 11y agoI might have a long time ago, but I didn't realize it was so fully-featured. Is there a guide for setting this up on Windows anywhere?
- CaptSpify 11y agohttp://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Windows_Compatibility http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Windows_Compatibility might be your best bet. I don't really run windows boxes, so I don't know unfortunately.
- greatquux 11y agoThis is why I've been using the Madsonic fork. It gets around everything you mention.
